  4. Agenda • IAQ – Indoor Air Quality Issues & Awareness • Air Purification Market Analysis • Traditional Solutions - Passive Technologies • Purifying Natures Way - Active Technologies • EcoQuest 20 Year History in Air Purification • RCI, Certified Space Technology • Validation - University Testing • What you need to Know • Residential Products……. • Fresh Air by EcoQuest • DuctwoRx – In-Duct Air Purification • LaundryPure Advanced Oxidation/Cold Water/Detergent Free laundry system • Quest Commercial Products

  5. IAQ Problems • Began with the 70’s oil embargo ... energy crisis • Reduced speeds to 55 mph / Thermostats adjusted to 68 heat & 78 A/C • Stringent construction codes resulted in energy efficient buildings • More synthetic materials used in constructionwith less air infiltration • “Sick Building Syndrome” emerged in the 80’s • Americans spend 90% of their lives indoors • 15 million Americans have asthma (80% increase since 1980) • 28 million Americans suffer from hay fever & allergies • Air pollution contributes to lung disease, including respiratory tract infections, asthma, and lung cancer • Today the E.P.A., the U.S. House of Representatives & the WorldHealth Organization rank indoor air pollution the #1 environmental health problem • Mold, mildew and their mycotoxins are exposed as a serious health threat • Airborne staph, pneumonia & MRSA at record high in hospitals • Deadly nosocomial viruses in hospitals with a 55% death rate & over 85,000 deaths per year No viable solutions availableuntil ...

  6. National Awareness

  7. RESULT ! He doesn’t even know we’re here ! People become Vulnerable to: • Disease • Dysfunctions • Distress POLLUTION & TOXINS • Breathed • Ingested • Contacted • Accumulated Over Time Hey, wait for me ! Why do I feel so bad? ANSWER:Overloaded Immune System Cleaners – Fumes - Paint - Pesticides – Preservatives - Chlorine – Tobacco - Mold - Bacteria - Pollen - Dust - Glues - Building Materials - Dust Mites – Fungi – Furniture - Carpet – Gases - - etc 1000’s

  8. Recent Market SurveyPrimary reason for purchasing an Air Purifier

  9. Where we are today….. Passive Technologies

  10. Passive Technologies • Filtering • Ionization … a misunderstood technology • Electronic Air “Cleaners” • UV Lights … issue with distance from UV bulb and exposure time • Portable units …small rooms, inefficient, ineffective, & costly to operate

  11. Typical Air Particle Size Distribution Don’t Be Fooled ! It’s the “Small Sizes” < 0.5 um that are Numerous & Dangerous ! 300-400 million/m3 97% Of Weight ( 28+52+11+6= 97%) But not a big health threat ! Most filter mfgs. spec their product on “weight” not “count”. But 98.5 % Of Particle Count is < 0.5 um A big health threat 98.5

  12. Passive TechnologiesCommon problems… • Impossible for ALL the air to get to them! • Filters & plates become constant source of pollution, high maintenance, & cost • Filters & plates have limited effect on VOCs, odors, bacteria, viruses, mold & mildew • How is mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, odors removed on surfaces inside a room? • UV lights only work on surfaces… NOT effectively on moving air! • Ventilating is extremely expensive & limited in it’s effectiveness If these methods really worked, why is the problem not solved?

  13. Nature’s Way… …to purify the air we breathe • Ionization to reduce particle concentrations • Oxidation to reduce mold, bacteria, virus and VOC’s Automatic, Proactive & Self-regulating!

  14. EcoQuest’s 20 Year History….

  15. 1986: Ozone / Ion Technology Thunderstorm in a Box!

  16. Radiant Catalytic Ionization Technology Then we added the power of the Sun!

  17. Breakthrough Technology “Radiant Catalytic Ionization” The Science behind the Technology… The RCI Cell

  18. RCI Cell Broad spectrum UV lamp Honeycomb Matrix for maximum surface area Quad-metallic Hydrophilic coating $500 per gallon

  19. The Lamp …no ordinary UV Bulb! • Broad Spectrum High Efficiency • 100-300 nm • 25,000 hours = 3 years! RCI UV

  20. Germicidal UV (254 nm) 254 nano meter

  21. Germicidal UV (254 nm) Effectiveness is dependent upon distance, intensity and exposure time

  22. 254nm UV Activates the Catalyst Photoelectric Effect: The conversion of light to electricity

  23. The Catalyst Hydrophilic Coating “Hydrophilic” – means the coating absorbs water vapor (H2O) from the air, creating an abundance of Hydrogen and Oxygen for creation of friendly oxidizers Optimum Humidity is 40-60%

  24. The Catalyst Quad-metallic Hydrophilic Catalytic Coating Titanium Dioxide, X, Y, Z Each metal contributes to process: • Titanium Dioxide forms two highly reactive substances - Hydroxyl Radicals (OH) & Superoxide Ions (O2-1) - both very strong oxidizers • X converts Nitric Oxide to Nitrogen and Oxygen • Y speeds up the Titanium reactions by up to 3X. Proven to kill bacteria. • Z has unique abilities to work with Hydrogen and can improve the functions of Titanium. Also, helps eliminates algae.

  25. 185 nm UV produces ozone 185 nm Ozone

  26. 254 nm decomposition of ozone 254 nm breaks O3 back down to O2 254 nm

  27. AOP formation of “Friendly Oxidizers” These oxidizers are then picked up in the air stream and dispersed throughout the building …ACTIVELY purifying contaminants! • HO2 O2 - Hydroxyl Radicals OHo Hydroperoxyl RadicalHO2 Super Oxides O2- Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 Ozonide Ions O3- O3- OH H2O2 H2O2 O3- - Broad Spectrum UV Light O2 OH • HO2

  28. RCI Cell advantages • The RCI cell produces and consumes ozone (O3) to facilitate the AOP reactions. Typically 90% of the ozone produced is decomposed in process. • The RCI cell is NOT an ozone generator, (emits ≤ .02 PPM Ozone), in fact can help regulate O3 levels. • Provides redundancy of oxidizers which react up to 40x faster than ozone alone & without irritation. • AOP reactants remain effective after leaving cell as a “Purifying Plasma”… dispersed throughout the building ACTIVELY purifying contaminants. • Starts by continuously sanitizing the duct system & eventually comes back thru to keep coils clean.

  29. University Testing _____________________________________________________________ Kansas State University: Dr. James Marsden, Regents Distinguished Professor Microbial reduction on Surfaces (Mold, Bacteria & Virus) University of Cincinnati: Dr. Sergey Grinshpun, Department Head, Center for Health-Related Aerosol Studies, Department of Environmental Health Reduction of the Aerosol Particle Concentration Airborne Microbial reduction (Virus) Syracuse University: Prof. Jianshun Zhang, Director, International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy Airborne VOC Reductions in simulated HVAC system

  30. Efficacy of EcoQuest’s Radiant Catalytic Ionization Cellat Reducing Microbial Populations on Surfaces _____________________________________________________________ • Staphylococcus aureus : 98.5% reduction • MRSA - Methycillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: 99.8% reduction • Escherichia coli : 98.1% reduction • Bacillus spp. : 99.38% reduction • Streptococcus spp. : 96.4% reduction • Pseudomonas aureuginosa : 99.0% reduction • Listeria monocytogenes : 99.75% reduction • Candida albicans : 99.92% reduction • Stachybotrys chartarum : 99.93% reduction Kansas State University

  31. Avian Flu testing Dr. Jill Bieker Sandia National Laboratory

  32. Avian Flu Inactivation with RCITCID50/cm2 vs Time

  33. Avian Flu Inactivation with RCI% TCID50/cm2 Remaining vs Time

  34. Avian Flu Inactivation with RCI% TCID50/cm2 Reduced vs Time

  35. Avian Flu Virus Inactivation Conclusion per Dr. Marsden • Based on these tests, treatment with the RCI-Cell™ system against the avian H5N8 virus showed continual inactivation of the infectious virus • After 12 hrs, no infectious virus was detected at all • RCI is a highly effective system for the inactivation of this virus

  36. The Power of the “Certified Space Technology” designation

  37. What you need to know.. Three points to remember about EcoQuest Air Purification Technology……. • The only Air Purification Technology which combines up to five nature based technologies working together to clean air indoors like nature cleans air outdoors using: • Two types of Ionization to reduce particles • UV and a Catalyst to create Oxygen & Hydrogen based friendly oxidizers to reduce microbial contaminants (Photo Catalytic Oxidation) • Low-level ozone to reduce odors • The only residential Air Purification Technology recognized by the NASA Space Foundation and awarded Certified Space Technology status • The only Air Purification with validation testing from multiple universities proving the ability to reduce up to 99.99% of Mold, Fungi, Bacteria and Viruses, including MRSA and Avian Bird Flu on surfaces.
