ENVIROTECH Group IAQ Technology Featured in The Triton Newspaper for Yacht Captains and Crew

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Jeffrey Klein, President of Envirotech Group, stated, "We are proud to have been contacted by Julie Hammond to be featured in her article; she is an experienced yachting professional, and knows that most Yachts have Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues, which range from the "musty" smells of mold or mildew to odors from diesel fuel, holding tanks and food-even from lingering cigar smoke in a Sky Lounge.  

These air quality challenges are not only aesthetically unpleasant, but they can and do cause health problems, including upper respiratory inflamation, sinusitus and even allergic reactions, especially for those who spend the most time on board."

Mr. Klein goes on to say that "Without knowing about our equipment, many attempt to 'mask' odors with aggressive applications of cleaning solutions; but, that simply adds more 'Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) to the breathing space.  This is critically true when using the popular plug-in aroma dispensers, which are essentially a block of fragrance-laced petroleum jelly with a heating element, that releases scented gas into the air that floats around the boat.  When it cools, and returns to a 'solid' state, it coats everything (including lungs), like hairspray, with fine layers of petroleum 'gel', turning headliners, furniture and floors into dust and dirt magnets."

When asked how the air purification technology worked, Mr. Klein explained that "Unlike an air filter that requires contaminants to come to it, but can only remove what can be 'captured' in the filter, ours is an 'affirmative' technology', originally developed for NASA to 'scrub the air' on board the Space Shuttles.  It uses an Advanced Oxidation Process that actually fills the entire boat, constantly eliminating contanimants and microbial organisms, wherever they are lirking."  

He continued, "And, as the article mentions, Julianne was able to examine two of the three published, University test study reports, which proved that our technology kills mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses, both on surfaces and in the air, throughout the coverage area-basically creating a 'sanitary field' wherever it is installed."

"Captain's, and particularly Stewardesses, understand right away how valuable it is to have our equipment on board, and how it translates into freeing up substantial time for crew members to focus on other tasks, protects the health of everyone on board and leaves the air inside like being on a mountain top in Vermont!"
