Clearing the Air: The Impact of Indoor Air Quality on Your Health & Beauty
Check out our article in Health & Beauty Magazine: Bermuda Media — Bermuda Health & Beauty
When it comes to health and beauty, air quality is as important a consideration as diet, exercise and personal care. According to research published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, outdoor and indoor air pollution may cause inflammation and lower levels of antioxidant in skin. Oxidation resulting from poor air quality can damage DNA and cause the breakdown of collagen leading to premature aging and potentially an increased risk of skin cancer.
Additionally, indoor air can contain viruses, bacteria, mould, allergens and other pollutants that linger and can contribute to headaches, lung irritation and fatigue and long-term conditions such as asthma, allergies and infectious diseases.
The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that indoor air pollution concentrations are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. While outdoor air quality cannot be controlled, other than avoiding areas of pollution, indoor air quality can be. At AIRCARE, we offer a range of proven, effective air purification products from RGF Environmental Group, Inc. (RGF) and air quality services to significantly reduce the harmful pollutants in your home and workspace thereby helping ensure better health.
RGF has, for many years, been at the forefront of air, food and water purification with their technology being used by major corporations and entities around the globe. RGF’s proprietary Photohydroionisation (PHI®) technology recreates nature’s process of producing hydro-peroxide plasma that is distributed throughout a space to actively purify pollutants at their source both in the air and on surfaces. Hydro-peroxides are naturally occurring oxidisers that are created in our atmosphere with the combination of oxygen molecules, water vapour and electromagnetic energy. Ionised hydro-peroxides effectively destroy harmful microbes in the air and on surfaces by cell lysis, which is a process that changes the microbes’ molecular structure, rendering them harmless, and occurs constantly in outdoor air. RGF’s PHI technology allows this natural process to happen within air-conditioned spaces safely.
Lab tests have shown the RGF products to be effective against Coronaviruses such as Covid-19 as well as H1N1 Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Norwalk Virus, MRSA, Listeria, E-Coli and many others. Air quality is also improved with up to 98% reduction of moulds and viruses, and significant reduction of gas compounds and odours.
