Indoor Air Pollution

AirSource and Sharper Image Ionic Breeze have both gotten press coverage
recently, but only Shaklee's press is the kind you'd want to get!

Shaklee's AirSource technology was featured in "Popular Science",
as the first home air purifier system to meet federal safety limits while reducing microbial levels by 97%

Meanwhile, Consumer Reports magazine, which was highly critical of Shaper Image's Ionic Breeze ability to reduce airborne particles, just won a libel lawsuit brought by Sharper Image against them for saying their Ionic Breeze has no appreciable results. Sharper Image had to pay over $500,000 in court costs and reimbursement to Consumer's Report upon losing the case!

And now Sharper Image Ionic Breeze faces new charges related to the same product that led to the lawsuit in the first place. And this time, it's not just that the Ionic Breeze doesn't work, as Consumer Reports charged in 2003. The magazine's latest study charges that the Ionic Breeze units along with four others, actually make air quality worse, by releasing excess ozone into the air - something that can cause serious respiratory problems, especially for asthmatics or other people with breathing concerns.

In contrast, as part of Shaklee's commitment to safety and efficacy an AirSource ozone safety study was done for 4 months in a sealed 10x10x10 ft. room. The ozone has not exceeded .02 ppm in that small space. (FDA safe limit is .05 ppm).

When you compare prices, the Air Source 3000 comes out way ahead, too. Since the Ionic Breeze only covers 500 square feet, you would need to have six Ionic Breeze units to cover the area that the AirSource 3000 does and the total cost of the Ionic Breeze for 3000 square feet would be $2475!

With the AirSource 3000 you get:

1. Technology that helps to eliminate all three major categories of indoor air pollution: gases, particulates and airborne microbials. Your home will experence a vast iimprovement in indoor air quality. Listen to a discussion on how AirSource works!
2. 3000 square foot coverage (most other units only handle one room of 400 to 1000 square feet).
3. Minimal electricity to operate (about the cost to light a 40-watt bulb)
4. No costly filter replacements that you have to change often and can cost several hundred dollars a year. (With AirSource you simply replace a UV light module)
5. Elegant design
6. Quiet operation
7. 60-day money back guarantee
