Fossil Fumes
A study done by the Clean Air Task Force (CATF) found that diesel fumes kill about 21,000 US citizen each year.
Diesel fumes also cause 27,000 nonfatal heart attacks and 410,000 asthma attacks in U.S. adults each year, plus roughly 12,000 cases of chronic bronchitis, 15,000 hospital admissions, 2.4 million lost-work days, and 14 million restricted activity days.
And that is almost certainly not the worst of it. The Clean Air Task Force report cites numerous studies revealing that diesel soot:
- Degrades the immune system (the system that protects us all from bacteria, viruses and cancers);
- Interferes with our hormones, reducing sperm production, masculinizing female rats, altering the development of baby rats (changing their bones, thymus, and nervous systems), modifying their adrenal and reproductive hormones;
- Causes serious, permanent impairment of the nervous system in diesel-exposed railroad workers;
- Induces allergic reactions, not limited to asthma, causing children to miss thousands upon thousands of school-days a primary cause of school dropout, consequent low self-esteem, and subsequent life- failure.
Our solutions
Since diesel exhaust/fumes, Carbon Monoxide, and NOx travel on small electrically charges particles they cannot be vented and linger. The CAP™ neutralizes these particles and destroy them with little or no venting.
See the chart below, this was done as an independent test. This company has excessive exposure to diesel and carbon monoxide. You can see the results. 0.3 microns were reduced and destroyed by as much as 85%.
