Asthma and Indoor Air Pollution

Cases of asthma are on the rise without a clearly defined cause. Some researchers and physicians theorize that pollutants from indoor living environments may be to blame. A number of possible culprits have been looked at, including pesticides, synthetic and natural fragrances, cleaning products, detergents, petroleum based products, and out gassing from carpeting, vinyl, and paneling.

A major contributor to asthma may even be commercially available products that are marketed to deodorize, or "freshen" the air. A current article concerning this can be viewed here: Environmental groups petition U.S. to regulate air fresheners.

Omni-Zorb products can help clean the environment of pollutants. If indeed the researchers are correct in linking indoor pollutants to asthma, reducing the pollutants may help.

Placing our pouches in the vents of central heating systems can help. Read a short "how to" here.

Omni-Zorb pouches and carpet deodorizer both contain a highly pure and effective grade of zeolite. The EPA predicts that zeolite will replace carbon and charcoal as the most effective air pollutant sweeper.
