Tobacco smoke poses a unique indoor air quality concern. Not only does tobacco contain chemicals, odors, and smoke particles; those particles contain tar which block up conventional particle filters in air purifiers. An air purifier for tobacco smoke must be able to combat all of these concerns without having the tar quickly ruin the filters.
On Second Hand Smoke
- Second hand smoke has been classified by the U.S. EPA as a Class A carcinogen | More |
- Disclaimer: Espitech Air Products disclaims all warranties, implied or otherwise, that anyone (non-smoker or smoker) who installs our air purifiers, air cleaners, or air scrubbers as an alternative to seeking a smoke free environment will be protected from the health risks caused by exposure to second hand smoke.
- "No air filtration or air purification system has been designed that can eliminate all the harmful constituents of secondhand smoke. A reduction of the harmful constituents of secondhand smoke does not protect against the disease and death caused by exposure to secondhand smoke. The U.S. Surgeon General has determined secondhand smoke to cause heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory illness."
- When first turned on in an already smoke-filled room, the first effect is the removal of the sharp irritants that affect the eyes and the nose. If an impregnated media filtering unit is already running when smoke starts, the smoke and the vapor is eliminated and an odor free condition can be obtained after smoking stops. This always depends on a variety of factors: sufficient carbon modules, strategic placement, appropriate matching filters, adequate maintenance and operating modules 24 hours a day.
- The elimination of the less acrid tar and chemical odor, and the reduction of the visible mist of liquid tar require little time in most settings. The removal of the remaining odor, which comes from tar and chemical re-emissions from walls, carpets, draperies and furniture, may take several hours to many days, depending on smoking volumes.
