The Body
Austin Air produces all of its products with solid steel construction and non-toxic powder coated paint for strength, reliability and longevity.
The Filter
Austin Air incorporates trusted air filtering technology used in hospitals and operating rooms. For a filter to be effective, gases and sub-micron particles must be removed from the air. That's why you'll find True Medical Grade HEPA and Activated Carbon in every Austin Air filter.
True HEPA
The True HEPA filter was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission specifically to protect the Human Respiratory System (nose, mouth, throat, lungs) from radioactive dust particles. Austin Air takes it a step further, incorporating True Medical Grade HEPA with 99.97% efficiency down to 0.3 microns and 95% efficiency down to 0.1 microns.
Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon is used to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's); noxious gases and chemicals.

The basic scientific principals involved in all of the Austin Air filters are rooted in the use of activated carbon, True Medical HEPA filtration
media, and depending on the filter’s purpose impregnated carbon. By forcing the air through these various filtration media Austin Air filters removes
99.97% of all air borne particulate matter larger than 0.3 microns, while eliminating over 3000 toxic gases and odors.
Austin Air uses a large amount of filtration media in their air purifiers. A pre-filter that surrounds the 3-stage filter. The pre-filter helps to significantly extend the
life of the 3-stage filter. In order to properly maintain the effectiveness of the filter all you have to do is
periodically vacuum the outside of the machine, clearing away the larger and most visible dust. There are several other features that are built into Austin Air purifiers. These include solid
steel construction, a non-toxic, painted finish, a long lasting energy efficient PSC motor and the specially engineered pure air vent, which creates what Austin Air calls,
TM the Clean Air Pocket .
This article has great information about indoor air.
A popular television commercial from the 1970s shows a Native American man in buckskin and feathers paddling his canoe through ink-black waters, past refineries billowing smoke. He comes aground on a litter-strewn shoreline and finds a freeway clogged with cars and exhaust fumes. Someone chucks fast-food garbage out a car window and it splatters onto his moccasins. The camera zooms in on a single tear streaming down his cheek, while the voiceover tells us "People start pollution. People can stop it.
"
People have done significant things in the ensuing years to stop some types of air pollution, says William Bahnfleth, director of Penn State's Indoor Environment Center and professor of architectural engineering. For instance, in 1990, Congress expanded the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Act, giving the agency the power to enforce regulations reducing air pollutant emissions. However, says Bahnfleth, these air-quality laws only apply to outdoor air. How safe is the air we breathe inside our homes and workplaces?
"Americans now spend on average 90 percent of their time indoors, being exposed to indoor air contaminants," Bahnfleth noted. "The sheer exposure time amplifies the significance of any harmful substances in indoor air ?but indoor concentrations of some contaminants may also be several times higher than outdoors." These contaminants are many and varied, including off-gassing of toxic chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from building materials and furniture; carbon monoxide; radon; spores and mycotoxins from mold; pesticides; allergens from pets, insects, dust mites and other sources, and tobacco smoke.
"Visible or not, indoor air contaminants have a tremendous effect on health, productivity, and comfort," said Bahnfleth. "Numerous studies have documented that students learn better and workers are more productive in environments with good air quality." The cost of ignoring this issue is steep: a recent study by William Fisk of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory concluded that losses due to sick leave, medical treatment, and lowered productivity may be as high as $48 billion annually in the U.S. "Radon is now considered to be the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths after smoking," Bahnfleth added. "We also know that thousands of asthma deaths occur annually in which indoor allergens may play a role."
Ironically, tighter construction methods ?intended to improve a home's energy efficiency ?may contribute to indoor air pollution by reducing the air exchange that happens in older, "leakier" homes. Newer, tighter homes should have ventilation systems to ensure acceptable air exchange rates, Bahnfleth suggested.
Is a building you inhabit at home or work making you sick? The EPA describes Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) as a situation “in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified.?Says Bahnfleth, SBS symptoms include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; and sensitivity. "Because, by definition, there is no apparent cause of SBS, the responses to it may be broad brush, including increasing ventilation rates, looking for contaminant sources that might be a specific cause, and removing contaminant reservoirs such as carpets," he explained. "In the home, the use of scented candles and air fresheners, cleaning fluids, and other chemicals can be removed to see if symptoms diminish."
While there are fairly clear standards for outdoor air quality, indoor air quality legislation and building codes lag behind and often specify only "the minimum air filtration efficiency and ventilation requirements," said Bahnfleth. "Regulation of indoor smoking and certain other contaminants has helped, but further progress is needed." That progress may hinge upon the ability of researchers to prove "cause and effect" relationships between indoor air pollutants and various illnesses. "Right now, we're limited in how successful we can be in pressing for greater regulation," he admits, adding that "the important factor limiting the effectiveness of regulatory efforts is the lack of data connecting specific indoor exposures to specific consequences."
The good news is that as people become more aware of the problem, change is starting to happen, noted Bahnfleth. "The sustainability movement is having a positive impact on indoor air quality to the extent that it promotes the use of low-emission materials and other good practices."
Individuals can take some steps themselves that can make a big difference, he suggested. Get your home tested for radon, and have it radon mitigated professionally if needed; consider investing in air purifiers that can filter out VOCs and fine particles that can deposit deep in the lungs, as well as dehumidifiers to reduce the likelihood of moisture condensation indoors, which promotes mold growth. Other simpler steps involve replacing toxic cleaning products with natural alternatives, not letting your car motor run while in the garage, and even just opening windows more often in your home.
Perhaps we're due for another Public Service Announcement on television to heighten awareness of indoor air pollution. While the actor named Iron Eyes Cody who played the so-called "Crying Indian" in that ad was actually Italian-American and his anguished tear was just Hollywood glycerin, the importance of clean air your most fundamental human need remains very real.

Customer Comments
I never thought of myself as an allergy sufferer but after buying the HealthMate™ for my husband, I notice that I sleep better and wake up rested without my usual stuffy nose. Now, I have much more energy to get through the day. I didn't recognize my "symptoms" as allergies. I thought they were a normal part of life.
Thanks Austin Air.
J. Patterson, NE
I find the HealthMate Jr.™ to be far superior to all other air cleaners in my treatment of patients with asthma, allergies and chemical sensitivities.
Dr. D. Brook, CA
I have been living with severe asthma most of my life. My asthma usually occurs during the night, triggered by my allergies. The first time I used my Allergy Machine™ was the first time I can actually remember sleeping the entire night. It has been 4 years and my Allergy Machine™ has not left my bedside. I can’t tell enough people about your company.
S. Hayes, England
I have personally witnessed the life changing results with the Allergy Machine Jr.™. My patients are experiencing dramatic results, especially those with allergies and asthma. The Allergy Machine Jr.™ has proven itself to me as being the most effective method at managing allergy and asthma symptoms in the home, specifically the bedroom.
Dr. E. Davis, MI
I live in Manhattan about 4 miles from the World Trade Center site and returned home that evening to find myself coughing and unable to breathe in my apartment. I went into my bedroom, closed the door, and turned my Austin Air cleaner on high. For the rest of the night, I was able to sleep without any further discomfort. Thanks Austin Air, you really helped me get through the aftermath of 9/11.
M. Burton, NY
For 3 years I suffered from headaches and nausea. My doctor finally diagnosed it as a chemical sensitivity to household cleaning solutions and synthetic materials. After using the HealthMate+™ and following the guidelines of Dr. Rapp's book (Our Toxic World), I have experienced complete relief. Thanks Austin Air, you've made a world of difference to my life.
J. Blake, IL
Our baby was born 4 weeks premature with a mild breathing condition. When we were able to bring her home, having a Baby's Breath™ in her room, gave us peace of mind and the reassurance that she was breathing the cleanest air possible. With your help, our baby is now 6 months old and in perfect health. She's full of energy and sleeps amazingly well for an infant.
J. Gordon, NY, NY
We own a bird, and he's a part of our family, but we have always been concerned about feather dust and the diseases it is know to carry. After buying The Pet Machine™ for our home, we feel more confident that our family's health is not being compromised.
An unexpected benefit is the amount of dust in the room is greatly reduced and it always smells fresh and clean.
Thanks Austin Air.
