 Breathe easy at home
and at work with the latest high tech air purifying system.
Breath of Fresh air
J.B. O'Reilly's Drinkin' & Eatin' Emporium in west Leederville has found a
way to keep pub air fresh while patrons enjoy a pint or two.
Publican Paul North has installed a breath of fresh air with the
Canadian-made T.F.P. Lifebreath Air Cleaner, a system that cycles air
through a purifier and removes up to 99 percent of airborne dust, tobacco
smoke, cooking smells and grease, dust mites, pollen, bacteria, odours and
other pollutants.
J.B.'s manager Sharon Arnold said the result was brilliant: "For the
day-to-day running of the pub it's great - it takes the smoke out of the
air and when we come in in the morning there's no stale smoke or drink
smells."
Sharon said that staff who'd suffered hay fever or watery eyes from being
submerged in cigarette smoke haven't had any problems since the
Lifebreath system was installed about a year ago.
"We have it on all the time but we forget it's there - it's silent," she
said.
Australian distributor Peter Robinson, an electrical engineer who supplies
Australia from his Perth business Starship Industries, said that
Lifebreath was used in the US and Canada to clean air in all kinds of
buildings, from homes and offices to hospitals.
"Left on for 5-10 hours a day the Lifebreath will keep the average home
virtually dust-free. And, if it stays on, it cycles all the air in the
home about 10 times a day," he said.
Lifebreath costs about $1900 a unit, covers 250sqm floor area and has a
running cost similar to a light bulb. Filters cost about $35 and need
replacing every one to five years, depending on the environment.
Peter Robinson is a firm believer in the value of his product.
"Perth is in the top 10 most air polluted cities in the world," he said.
"and the CSIRO reckons that the quality of indoor air leads to $12 billion
loss of productivity a year."
"The US Environmental Protection Authority says the average house's indoor
air is 10-70 times more polluted than outdoor air".
Asthma, hay fever, allergies and lowered immune systems are among the
health hazards of polluted indoor air, Peter said.
