Thunderstorm in a box

We have been having thunderstorms in the Baltimore-Annapolis-DC area recently. Some of them have been quite severe. But a nice thing about a thunderstorm is that after it's all over and you walk outside, the air smells so fresh and clean.

I am marketing a product called the Fresh Air Surround by Vollara. It is a thunderstorm in a box, using UV rays and electricity to send out needle-point ionization into the air. This causes all the particles in the air --dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, smoke--to be attracted to each other. Very quickly the particles become too heavy for the air to support and simply fall to the ground. Like a thunderstorm, this process leaves behind clean, fresh-smelling air. It's great for everyone, but especially for people who suffer from asthma, allergies, and breathing issues.

I had a customer recently tell me that when she brushes her long-haired dog, the hair generally floats in the air for some time. That's not good for people. It can make breathing difficult for children, adults, or aging parents. When using the air purifier, however, she noticed that the hair fell straight to the ground out of the breathing zone. When regular vacuuming takes place, the hair, pet dander, and other particles from the air, are swept up removing them from the circumstances.

Clean air is a valuable commodity, especially in these days when Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. As I tell people, "Breathe free with Fresh Air!"

News from American Asthma Foundation

Statistical information demonstrates that asthma is an epidemic that is both serious and widespread, and that it has been growing rapidly. The disease affects all age groups: infants, school children, young adults, baby boomers, and seniors. Nearly one in every 13 people in the United States has the disease, and the growth of asthma among children is particularly alarming. Other little known facts include:

• The cost to society of asthma is approximately $20 billion in direct and indirect healthcare costs annually.
• Childhood asthma has sky-rocketed in the inner city. Asthma disproportionately strikes the poor, who are at least 50 percent more likely to have the disease than those not living in poverty. While the reasons are not completely clear, research by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrates that a combination of poverty-related issues trigger attacks.

Michelle's Law helps college students
"Michelle's Law", a federal law permitting college students to take up to a year off of school for medical reasons and remain on their family's health insurance plan, took effect in October. The law is named for the late Michelle Morse, who continued her college studies while battling colon cancer in order to remain on her parents' health insurance plan.
