Economizer is committed to bringing you TOTAL INDOOR COMFORT no matter the QUALITY of AIR outside.
Indoor Air Pollution and Health
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) describes the air quality around and within structures and buildings, specifically as it relates to both the health, wellbeing, and comfort of building residents. Your risk of indoor health concerns can be reduced when understanding common indoors pollutants and controlling these pollutants.
Negative effects from indoor air pollutants could be experienced immediately, soon after exposure or, possibly even years later.
Immediate Effects
Some negative health concerns could show up soon after a single exposure or repeated exposures to a pollutant. These include irritation of the throat, nose, and eyes, and can include symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and lethargy. Such instant effects are usually treatable and fairly short-term. In easily identified instances the treatment is usually to simply eliminating the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution. With some indoor air pollutants, symptoms of some illnesses such as asthma could show up, be exacerbated, or worsen soon after exposure.
Long-Term Effects
Long-term effects could include some respiratory diseases, cancer, and heart disease, and could be severely debilitating or fatal and may only show up either years after the exposure has occurred or only after long or constant periods of exposure.
While pollutants frequently found in indoor air can have many harmful consequences, there is substantial uncertainty about what concentrations or amount of time of exposure are involved to produce specific health problems.
Primary Causes of Indoor Air Problems
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems.
Inadequate Ventilation. If too little outdoor air enters indoors, pollutants can accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort problems. Some buildings may need special mechanical means of ventilation.
High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.
Pollutant Sources
The relative significance of any single source depends on how much of a given pollutant it emits and how harmful those emissions are. Considerations such as how old the source is and whether it is properly maintained are important. For example, an improperly adjusted gas stove can emit substantially more carbon monoxide than one that is properly adjusted.
Indoor Pollutant Sources
- Fuel-burning combustion appliances
- Tobacco products
- Building materials and furnishings as diverse as:
- Deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation
- Newly installed flooring, upholstery, or carpet
- Cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products
- Products and chemicals for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies
- Central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices
- Excess moisture
- Outdoor sources such as:
- Radon
- Pesticides
- Outdoor air pollution.
Chemical Air Pollutants and Sources
- Asbestos
- Biological Pollutants
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Formaldehyde/Pressed Wood Products
- Lead (Pb)
- Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
- Pesticides
- Radon (Rn)
- Indoor Particulate Matter
- Secondhand Smoke/ Environmental Tobacco Smoke
- Stoves and Heaters
- Fireplaces and Chimneys
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Several leading FIVAC and IAQ corporations use Dust Free® as an OEM manufacturer. Working as a sub-component manufacturer, or lead manufacturer providing a 100% complete product, Dust Free® maintains a level of manufacturing and engineering superiority that provides the AIQ3 industry with a competitive advantage.
Dust Free® provides a dynamic air quality management strategy that offers a complete IAQ solution, custom-tailored to your specific needs. THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY STRATEGY The IAQ3 platform integrates THREE levels of air quality products, each improving the overall air quality of the space: Each product works together to build the filtration, sterilization, and purification components of the IAQ3 platform.
FILTRATION:
Typical fiberglass throwaway filters can trap only 5% of pollutants. And ordinary electrostatic air filters sold through media and discount outlets trap only 80%. The Dust Fighter 95 is the most effective tool for eliminating 95% of common, large micron, household pollutants.
- Compact, easy to install design without expensive air duct modifications.
- Reduces particulate matter such as dust and dander by improving the performance of your existing filtration system. The Dust Free® Active’s high-output ion brushes charge particles and assists your air filter in capturing particulates.
- Innovative carbon-fiber brushes increase ion production.
- Expanded range ballast for increased electrical reliability.
- Auxiliary power port to power an additional 24V Germicidal UV-C light allowing to easily add an additional UV light to any HVAC system.
Available in 6″ and 12″ models.
- Allergy Gold
The Allergy Gold is engineered to capture large airborne pollen, mold spores, and house dust while allowing adequate air flow for today’s high SEER equipment. The Allergy Gold is 100% washable and reusable, so it is good for the outdoor environment too.
- Dust Fighter 95
Typical fiberglass throwaway filters can trap only 5% of pollutants. And ordinary electrostatic air filters sold through media and discount outlets trap only 80%. The Dust Fighter 95 is the most effective tool for eliminating 95% of common, large micron, household pollutants. 100% Washable and reusable.
- Dust Fighter 90
High performance electrostatic air filter that offers more air flow than the Dust Fighter 95 model.
By trapping large dusts, pollens, molds, and animal dander as air circulates through the filter, the Dust Fighter 90 electrostatic air filter helps reduce your exposure to these allergens.
- MAXAire Gold
Your high SEER HVAC equipment needs adequate air flow to work efficiently. The MAXAire Gold offers very low resistance to air flow while providing acceptable dust arrestance.
- The EnviroGREEN™ 8 Pleat
Combines the high efficiency filtration of the throw-a-way type pleated filter, with the environmental consciousness of a permanent, washable type air filter, you will not need to throw another filter into your local land fill for 5 years.
Whole-Home PURIFICATION:
The Dust Free® Active Air purifier’s unique, dual technologies target air quality problems at the source using germicidal UV‑C and ionization systems to clean the air in your home.
- Compact, easy to install design without expensive airduct modifications.
- Reduces particulate matter such as dust and dander by improving the performance of your existing filtration system. The Dust Free® Active’s high-output ion brushes charge particles and assist your air filter in capturing particulates.
- Innovative carbon fiber brushes increase ion production.
- Expanded range ballast for increased electrical reliability.
- Auxiliary power port to power an additional 24V Germicidal UV-C light allowing to easily add an additional UV light to any HVAC system.
