The Problem

A HEALTH HAZARD?
 

“I often tell people when we think of air pollution here in Victoria we tend to think of people living in other places like Toronto or Los Angeles suffering from the effects of smog.”
 

Chart Eight
Indoor air quality – A growing concern

“…however considering that on average we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors, the air pollution which can affect us most is the air right in our own homes which can have far more contaminents that outdoor air."
 
 
 

Chart Nine
Indoor Air Quality – A growing concern
 

- various building materials throughout your home
- furnishings

- solvents
- animals
- polishes
- paints
- fabric protectors
- deodorants
- air fresheners
- pollen

- Draperies, fabrics
- Dry cleaned clothing
- Glues

“Where is it all coming from?  Many people are surprised to learn just how many sources there are of indoor air pollution inside your home.
 (read several from list.)  There are over 60,000 chemicals inside the average home.  Also remember that the human eye sees just 1 percent of unhealthy particles floating around in the air."
 

Chart Ten
Health Effects / ASTHMA

100% INCREASE IN ASTHMA IN CHILDREN SINCE 1980
US STUDY

“I was really shocked when it was pointed out to me just how serious a problem asthma is becoming, with a 100 percent increase in the disease with kids.  Asthma has likewise significantly increased here in Canada and many people feel that poor indoor air quality has a lot to do with the problem.”
 
 

Chart Eleven
Indoor air quality – A growing concern

“There are potential adverse affects to human health from exposure to air pollutants in the home.”

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
“The air within our homes contains many substances that may be hazardous to our health.”

“Health Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing and others are now alerting the public about the dangers of living in what some call a “toxic soup” of contaminants right in your own home.  Even in the US, the Environmental Protection Agency now lists indoor air quality among the top five environmental dangers we face.  The EPA goes as far to say there is no other problem that effects human health as much as poor indoor air."
 
 
 

Chart Twelve
Other Health Problems
 

• Majority of Canadian believe allergies are increasing
• #1 allergy trigger was dust

• Problems include headaches, nausea, fatigue, nasal congestion, dry eyes

“A 2002 Survey by Decima Research concluded the vast majority of Canadians felt allergies were a growing problem.  Over 20 percent of the population now suffers from allergies.  The American College of Allergists even goes as far as to say that half of all illnesses are caused by indoor air pollution!"
 
 

Chart Thirteen
Improving Indoor Air Quality

HEPA AIR FILTERS
(High Efficiency Particulate Air Filters)

• #1 AIR FILTERS RECOMMENDED BY DOCTORS

“There is good reason for their recommendation as there is no other air filter on the market has the Highest “Capture Rate” of air particles."
 
 

Chart Fourteen
HEPA
 

Invented By US Atomic Energy Commission during WWII.
• Specially designed HEPA filters to remove air borne radioactive contaminants
• Early applications include hospital isolation rooms
• Pharmaceutical and computer chip manufacturing applications requiring  “absolute filtration”.

“Out of curiosity, I contacted the Victoria General Hospital and they confirmed they do in fact use HEPA filters for various areas within the institution when absolute filtration is required.".
 
 

Chart Fifteen
Residential applications

“The problem with residential air filters to date including HEPA filters is that they typically only protect a small area like a room.  At Bay Systems, our feeling is why not have healthier air everywhere in the house?

This is a diagram showing our whole house HEPA filter system.  As you can see, the system is connected to the return air duct near your furnace.  1/3 to ½ of your returning air is diverted into our large HEPA filter and then the resulting clear air is redirected back to the return air duct.

(PRESENT ROOM SIZED FILTER and PARTICLE COUNTER)

This is your typical room sized HEPA air filter system that you may see in stores.  Again, this is only designed to protect a very small area.  What I would know is go through your house and take a count of the particle matter here in your home.  When we come back, I would then take a sample of the air coming through the HEPA and compare the two.
 

(TYPICAL ROOM COUNT WITH BE 700,000 PARTICLES PRESENT, AND HEPA TEST SHOULD BE CLOSE TO ZERO PARTICLES).

(PRESENT HEPA 350 SERIES FILTER)

We offer three different sized systems depending on the square footage of your home.  To give you an indication of just how large our whole house filters are, I thought I would bring along a sample of our 350 series filter.  (Hand them filter to feel its weight and texture).

PRICE OBJECTIONS

Can I ask you how about how many rooms you have here in your home?  Let's say you wanted to clean the air throughout the whole house and decided to use room air cleaners.  A quality room air cleaner would cost you about $175.00.  Now, if you have six rooms, that's $1000 dollars in cleaners.  Now, what you really have to consider however is how often you have to replace the HEPA filters in six room cleaners and at what cost.  A typical HEPA room cleaner filter can run about $100.  That means you will spend an additional $600 per year replacing the filters annually - that's $3000 in just five years.  When you consider our largest filter is $550 however last's five years the savings is really evident!
