Air Purifier | Austin Air Healthmate Junior Plus | Location | Alexandria, Kentucky |
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a condition that many people suffer from in their everyday lives. People living with the condition experience sensitivity to chemicals that they can be exposed to on a regular basis. The condition can cause sufferers to experience reactions such as headaches, dizziness, and sneezing.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is a condition that Austin Air had in mind when they designed the Healthmate Junior Plus air purifier. This model of air purifier caters to those with MCS and is able to eliminate chemicals from the air that affect sufferers. Not only does the Healthmate Junior Plus eliminate chemical fumes from the air, it is also equipped with a powerful HEPA filter that is able to deliver better performance than that of a regular air purifier. The unit is able to eliminate harmful particles and contaminants, as well as chemicals, from indoor air.
The importance of clean indoor air is often overlooked. For a person suffering from MCS, the quality of the indoor air can determine a good day or bad day. Kent Farmer of Alexandria, Kentucky suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and has found relief from his condition with the Healthmate Junior Plus air purifier that he uses at work. Mr. Farmer works in finance, which is typically considered a safe industry job, free from exposure to chemical toxins. In theory, most offices have fairly clean air and are not exposed to any toxic contaminants. The most obvious chemically-exposed places include manufacturing plants and beauty salons. Mr. Farmer found, however, that his office was not free from all chemicals, and he was having significant reactions on a daily basis. Cleaning supplies that were used in the office irritated his throat and eyes. Fumes from coworkers’ perfumes or hygiene products also affected Mr. Farmer’s health.
