Air
Oasis Induct ACT unit is superior to many UVC induct units on the
market today. Many UVC induct models rely solely on the UV rays
for the reduction of mold, bacteria, viruses etc. The pollutants
must be eradicated with the UV light within the air flow that leaves
very little dwell time for the pollutants. Those units do nothing
for VOCs or odors. Other units utilize ozone producing UVC lamps
to not only reduce mold, bacteria, viruses, VOCs, and odors, but
also send ozone throughout the entire home providing fresh clean
smelling air throughout the home. The down side to those units is
the higher levels of ozone which can cause potentially serious side
effects.

With
the patent-pending nanotechnology utilized by the Air Oasis Induct
ACT you can receive all the benefits of ozone producing UVC lamps
without the side effects. This is due to the patent-pending quad-nano
Xtreme™ catalyst that completely surrounds the UVC lamp 360
degrees converting ozone into safer and highly effective ions that
go out and attack the pollutants. These safer ions can effectively
kill simple organisms such as mold, bacteria, viruses etc., but
have no effect on complex organisms such as humans or pets. Our
bodies have natural enzyme defenses against the ions produced making
them dangerous to microorganisms and harmless to you.

The answer
is really quite simple. It is all due to the oxidation defense system,
within your body, which utilizes a special blend of enzymes. Have
you ever cut yourself on accident and then used hydrogen peroxide
on the wound? What happened? The hydrogen peroxide started to fizz
or bubble when it made contact with your wound, right? But why?
It's due to the reaction of certain enzymes within our body that
protect us from hydro peroxide, ozone, hydroxyls, super oxides and
more. One example is Glutathione peroxidase. It is a peroxidase
found in humans, which contains selenocysteine. It uses glutathione
as a electron donor and is active with both hydrogen peroxide and
organic hydroperoxide substrates. Another enzyme is Catalase. Present
in the peroxisomes of nearly all aerobic cells, it serves to protect
the cell from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide by catalyzing
its decomposition into molecular oxygen and water without the production
of free radicals.

Superoxide
dismutase (CuZnSOD) catalyses the dismutation reaction of the toxic
superoxide radical to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and
thus forms a crucial part of the cellular antioxidant defense mechanism.
Your body also contains many other antioxidants to help protect
you from oxidation. More and more of the foods we eat and the supplements
we take are being loaded with antioxidants as well.
To put things in plain english; your body
defends itself against these ions naturally, but mold, bacteria,
viruses and other biological contaminants do not have the same defense
mechanisms that we possess. Therefore the ions we produce are deadly
to simply organism, but won't harm people or their pets.
