Does it seem like your asthma or allergies, or a family members asthma or allergies are worsening?

If so, it may not be your imagination.

It is no coincidence that asthma cases have increased by more than 100% over the past 20 years. Or that death rates have tripled since 1976. Or that the number one reason for emergency room visits in Canada last year was for asthma.

The fact is, worsening asthma cases have coincided with the emergence of the indoor air quality epidemic. As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns us, indoor air quality has become the nation's number one environmental health problem. It may be a more serious health problem than outdoor air pollution!

How do we know that indoor air is the culprit?

First, consider that during the last 20 years, we have improved asthma medications (although many still cause a variety of undesirable side effects) and our understanding of asthma tremendously.

Second, we know genetics is not the cause of the recent alarming growth in asthma difficulties, since 20-plus years is nowhere near long enough for such a dramatic genetic effect to take place. In which case, this leaves us with the conclusion that the cause is environmental. This makes perfect sense, considering that environmental triggers, or airborne contaminants and allergens trigger most asthma attacks.

Many believe that the air in the great outdoors poses the greater risk for asthmatics, since pollution and allergens are commonly associated with outside air; however, it is the air in our homes, schools, workplaces, and other indoor environments that have the most severe impact on our respiratory systems. To begin with, indoor air is several times more polluted than air outside, as the EPA states, even though it may seem to be clean.

Every indoor environment, regardless of how clean it is, will be filled with bio-pollutants (e.g., over 50% of the weight of the average pillow is microscopic dust mites and their waste), chemical vapors (your home may seem clean, but what did you clean it with . . . chemically based household cleaners!), floating dead human skin (80% of the dust you see floating in your house is dead decaying skin!), and endless other pollutants from numerous sources. Its interesting that air tight, energy-efficient homes and buildings became a standard about 20 years ago, as a result of the energy crisis in the 1970s, around the same time that asthma problems began rising sharply. Plus, people spend over 90% of their time indoors, meaning that the indoor environment has a far greater impact upon our health one way or the other.

Furthermore, a recent study found that the allergen level in well-insulated homes is 200% higher than is found in warmer climates.

The air in your home may be causing headaches, watery eyes, a tired run down feeling, sneezing, itching, coughing, runny nose, nasal congestion, difficulty concentrating and aggravation of asthma and allergies!

New research proves that ultraviolet light can provide relief!

A new study details the results of a study of ultraviolet light and its benefits in office buildings. In this comprehensive study, health symptoms linked to sick building syndrome were alleviated with the installation of ultraviolet lights in the HVAC system. Worker sickness decreased dramatically!

The Second Wind Wholue House UV air purifier effectively removes most of the airborne allergy triggers such as animal dander, pollen, dust mites and molds. By removing these allergens and contaminants, it will help you and your family to relieve your allergy symptoms. The Ultraviolet Germicidal UVC light is used to help kill airborne bacteria, mold and viruses that enter the unit by destroying the DNA of micro-organisms.

The Complete Solution
To Indoor Air Pollution

Analysis of what causes allergies and aggravated respiratory
problems by the Center for Disease Control

PARTICULATES -- Dirt, Dust, Pollen, Spores , largest of the allergens. These
    allergens can be captured by a high-efficiency air filter.

BIOAEROSOLS -- Micro Organisms such as bacteria and mold. These allergens
    can be sterilized in the duct system by Second Wind air purifiers

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS -- Chemical gasses, solvents, and odor
    causing contaminants. Neutralized in the duct system by Second Wind POC
    or singlet oxygen technology.

The Second Wind Family of air cleaners and air purifiers addresses every aspect of the Center for Disease Control Pie Chart. Particulate that are 3 micrometers and larger can be filtered out of the air through upgraded filtration. The Second Wind Inline Air Cleaner will help reduce particulates in the home substantially. Where the filtration stops, the Second Wind Air Purifier technology begins. Bioaerosols such as Microorganisms, Viruses, Mold, and Bacteria cannot be filtered out with standard filtration. The Second Wind Air Purifier with ultraviolet germicidal light sterilizes most of this microscopic living organisms passing through the duct system. Volatile Organic Compounds are chemical gasses, solvents, and odor causing contaminants. The Second Wind Air Purifier will reduce the amount of these products in the air stream with it's POC and singlet oxygen technologies.
