Despite knowing it makes me really ill, she refuses to reconsider switching brands (even if I agree to pay for an unscented/safe one).

I live in a neighborhood full of 3 deckers/can be hard to tell where VOCs’ coming from, but I finally realized it was coming from somewhere IN our 3-decker (I wish you could photograph off-gas-ing smells!!), Today realized it’s coming from bath-laundry-room below me downstairs neighbor who said she has changed to “Tide Original.” Think Kryptonite. So I figured I was due for new filter/outer sock, but no improvement w/the replacements-it used to clear air in abt 20min after I closed windows/patio-slider. To INTENSE/cut-it-w/a-knife laundry-soap/dryer-fragrance/gases and NO CHANGE/just as intense. I’ve been having a LOT more laundry fragrance smells coming into my 817sq ft condo in the last 10 or so months-I put the Foust in my bathroom w/door closed due Hi, I’m a non-consenting host to TILT (toxic-induced loss of tolerance aka MCS) & I’ve had Foust 160R2 Air Purifier for abt 1.5 years. The Multigas can also be found on Amazon. You can buy the Healhpro and Multigas directly through the IQAir website. Nevertheless, this is a favorite and well-trusted brand for many with MCS who want a robust top-of-the-line air purifier.
Some people have sent back filters that smelt especially sweet or strong and received ones that were more tolerable. The potassium insert can be hard to tolerate for many (which is not a unique issue to this brand). The unit is made of plastic and the offgassing of the unit itself might be an issue. But, the most severely sensitive do not always tolerate it. This might be one of the best-known brand names in air purifiers. ft), dB 25 to 59įilter replacement: Multigas cartilage 2 years $400 Post Filter 2.5 year $129 HEPA about a year (on 10 hours a day on speed 3) $109 optional Filter Pads $79 Their HealthPro is (40 to 300 CFM) (2 air changes/hr in 1125 sq. $1299 * CFM 300 * 12 lbs granular activated carbon & impregnated alumina (Potassium Permanganate) * True HEPA * dB 35-69 – (the company will not state how many feet this test was done at). This air purifier has been in production for 8 years. The company has a number of patents and it has been tested you can see that info here (you can search and read patents here), and for a summary of research articles and references on this technology the company also provides a technical report.įilter replacement costs: Mineral cartridge 4-5 months 100$, HEPA every 2-3 years $150. Hydrocarbons will be absorbed but not chemically modified. My preference for this unit comes from its ability to deal with formaldehyde and smoke.ĮnviroKlenz materials will chemically dismantle many VOCs. Activated carbon does not help that much with formaldehyde and smoke can be difficult to filter as well. It is effective against aldehydes and pollutants and particularly effective against different kinds of smoke and pesticides. Contrary to odor masking methods, the nanocrystalline materials contact, adsorb and then neutralize the odor-causing substances. The EnviroKlenz according to the literature, destroys most pollutants. Like the others, this unit has a HEPA filter, but instead of charcoal/PP/zeolite it uses minerals including magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide to neutralize VOCs, chemical odors, and smoke. I have been using this unit and am happy with it.
