PRESS RELEASE
April 16, 2007—Clean Air Systems Inc of Chicago, Illinois, announces an expansions of its air purification program with the opening of a new office in Lake Bluff, a northern suburb of Chicago. This satellite office will be serving the entire North Shore as well as communities located west of the city limits. Clean Air Systems technology, which uses new patent-pending high-performance ozone generators to safely and effectively eliminate mold, bacteria, viruses and unpleasant odors, has been used in many different residential and commercial settings in states such as New York, Texas, Georgia, and California. Clean Air Systems is expecting to open another office within the state of Illinois in the next coming months.
The heightened awareness of the dangers inherent in mold is being felt in many ways across the country.
- More and more home buyers are seeking assurances that their new home is mold-free and they are demanding mold testing as part of the inspection process.
- Parents across the country are concerned about mold and other unhealthy spores in their children’s schools and childcare facilitates.
- The mysterious “sick building syndrome” has been linked to mold, bacteria and inadequate ventilation.
- Building owners and managers are being asked to prove that their premises are free from mold and airborne bacteria.
- Insurance firms are requiring mold inspections before providing coverage
The Clean Air Systems generators use ultraviolet light to manufacture highly-concentrated levels of natural ozone which kills toxic molds, viruses, bacteria, fungus, allergens and other micro-organisms, as well as insects. The high doses of ozone, which has been called “oxygen with an attitude” also eliminates unpleasant odors caused by pets or smoke. The Clean Air Systems technology is environmentally friendly, uses no chemicals or solvents, leaves no residue and is guaranteed to be 100% effective.
The presence of mold in homes, schools, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and other facilities is recognized by governmental agencies and environmental experts as a contributing factor to asthma, allergies and other respiratory disorders as a result of the allergens, irritants and potentially toxic substances it produces.
“Our new technology uses the natural purifying properties of ozone to clean literally every square inch of surface within any structure…leaving it as clean as humanly possible! Ozone has been used in water purification and food processing for years, and we are excited to be able to introduce this revolutionary system to help curb one of the worst environmental epidemics of the 21st century… Poor Indoor Air Quality will be a problem of the past!” said Jon Lampros, Clean Air Systems’ Regional Director. “This process completely eradicates the mold in a matter of hours compared to weeks with more traditional methods of remediation, and at a fraction of the cost!”

WASHINGTON -- Scientific evidence links mold and other factors related to damp conditions in homes and buildings to asthma symptoms in some people with the chronic disorder, as well as to coughing, wheezing, and upper respiratory tract symptoms in otherwise healthy people, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. However, the available evidence does not support an association between either indoor dampness or mold and the wide range of other health complaints that have been ascribed to them, the report says. Given the frequent occurrence of moisture problems in buildings and their links to respiratory problems, excessive indoor dampness should be addressed through a broad range of public health initiatives and changes in how buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained, said the committee that wrote the report.
"An exhaustive review of the scientific literature made it clear to us that it can be very hard to tease apart the health effects of exposure to mold from all the other factors that may be influencing health in the typical indoor environment," said committee chair Noreen Clark, dean, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. "That said, we were able to find sufficient evidence that certain respiratory problems, including symptoms in asthmatics who are sensitive to mold, are associated with exposure to mold and damp conditions. Even though the available evidence does not link mold or other factors associated with building moisture to all the serious health problems that some attribute to them, excessive indoor dampness is a widespread problem that warrants action at the local, state, and national levels."
