Air purifier specifically designed for people with MCS

AllerAir Industries now offers people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) relief from chemicals and particle irritations with the AirMedic MCS, an air purifier with a “special” carbon blend just for us.

This is a good-news-bad-news kind of thing. Good news for people with MCS, but bad news that a company like this sees the economy of scale large enough– many, many people with MCS– to invest in such a specialized product.

Anyway, this new filter sounds interesting. I currently have two HEPA+carbon filters in the house, but the concepts behind this product are worth a closer look for those of us with MCS.

‘One of the biggest challenges for MCS sufferers is finding an air purifier that does not worsen their symptoms because they are sensitive to the unit itself,’ said Sam Teitelbaum, President of AllerAir. ‘The AirMedic MCS is customizable with up to five different carbons, depending on the sensitivities of each individual, and is designed with materials that do not emit troublesome off-gases.’

To customize each unit, a test kit is first provided to each user to determine which of the five carbons is best suited for their specific sensitivities.

‘MCS sufferers need a carbon filter in their air purifier-a HEPA filter simply won’t work,’ said Mr. Teitelbaum. ‘Finding the right carbon is the key to giving MCS sufferers a better quality of life. This is what sets the AirMedic MCS apart from other air purifiers on the market.’

Many MCS sufferers are also sensitive to electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions, so the AirMedic MCS unique design includes a shielded cable, a special feature that virtually eliminates all EMF emissions from the actual cable.

The AirMedic MCS is designed without the use of bonding agents, which can also trigger significant reactions. Other features include a sealed motor, powder-coated carbon canister, a 100% metal casing, and an organic cotton pre-filter. These unique features further contribute to the unit’s inert design.
