Filters Now: Gulf Coast Oil Spill Affecting Air Quality

Aug. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- As Oil continues to degrade the water quality in gulf waters, air quality is also taking a hit. Residents along the Gulf Coast continue to report fowl smelling odors of rotten eggs and “gas station” like smells. It is obvious that the BP oil spill is continuing to affect life, even as the oil leak has stopped.

Filters Now, a manufacturer and distributor of air filters and air purifiers, is located on the Gulf Coast. Located in Mobile, Al, their business resides in one of the counties that are hardest hit by the oil spill. To help provide a solution, Filters Now has come up with two recommendations for residents along the gulf coast, in regards to indoor air quality.

According to the EPA, the smells associated with the oil spill can cause short term medical problems like headaches, stomach problems, eye and throat irritation. One of the best ways to combat the poor air quality is to replace your air filters and/or use air purifiers in your home or business. Filters Now has stocked up on these air filtration items to ensure fast delivery on all new orders.

The Honeywell Air Cleaner Model 50150 is a portable air purifier capable of cleaning a 15X15 room. With a 99.97% HEPA-type filter, this air purifier reduces common airborne allergens such as pollen, household dust, tobacco smoke particles, pet dander and mold spores. Its portable nature allows you to move it room to room for comfort wherever you are.

For those who just can’t stand the odor, Filters Now offers carbon air filters that eliminate indoor odors. The Accumulair Carbon filters (manufactured by Filters Now) will remove unwanted odors from your indoor living spaces.

Filters Now has been in business on the Gulf Coast for ten years. They are disheartened at the effects of the BP oil spill on their local waters. But with their air quality threatened as well, Filters Now has solutions to help local residents.

If you are concerned with the quality of air you are breathing, Filters Now urges you to call them to discuss solutions improving the air quality and giving you peace of mind. Their office is open 8am – 5pm Monday through Friday, and you can visit their website to place orders 24 hours a day.
