Why isn't this product NIOSH approved? Can I use it for exercisng in polluted air?

I quote from product description : "This respirator is government approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as an N95 class respirator and is designed for workplace, regulated uses and applications. NIOSH certification means the respirator has passed stringent government performance standards including filtration efficiency testing and provides at least 95% filtration efficiency solid and liquid particles that do not contain oil.

Question back is what pollution? Particulate, pollen, polluted fog, industrial gasses? It is NIOSH approved for dust. Not asbestos or heavy metals or chemical based pollution. There are other N100 masks and 3M half face masks that have the opportunity to use a variety of disposable filters for a variety of problems. Remember your eyes are entryways for a lot of really nasty pollutants.

No, it is not suitable for that application. You might want to try researching hydroponics ventilation to get an idea of what's out there. It is important for you to determine what kind of airflow you desire. Especially if it needs filtration for dust, smoke, or grease (cooking).

A fresh air intake is not available. It is not designed for use in an airtight home.

I'm not sure that Airtamer can handle large volumes of polluted air. It seems to have helped me with smaller volumes, such as in a plane. You might try using a mask, such as those used at construction sites.

This is made for particulate matter so it won't help much. A half face respirator or whole face with disposable filters meant for vapors would be much better. A cheaper niosh mask N 100 or N 95 will help less and must be changed often but something is better than nothing. The valve in the mask you asked about lets odor and some vapors in. The best beside the respirator as for smelling it are the blue N95 in the least expensive area. I'm surprised her employer does not provide this.

Dear mr. Linney Demon WP is very powerful ! If you spray it where the yellow jackets may walk on the surface , they will later that day clean themselves ingesting small particles of demon WP and they will die! Although spraying this product overhead is not in conformance with federal mandate , I advise if you do choose to do this in your shop you need to : Follow instructions carefully Cover everything that is not to be treated. Do not use in or around food or food handling areas Wear a protective chem suit ,respirator , gloves , protective eye and face wear !!!

This is a great product , it kills everything And you will be quit pleased with it ! But PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! I hope I've been of some help to you Sincerly , Lee

First of all: you do not want a lot of ozone production. Ozone (at best) is a respiratory irritant and can have serious health effects if exposure and "dose" are long and heavy. Second, I too found that, even after a few months - there was little build up on ANY part of the filtration system in this unit. It is not on the Consumers Report List of approved air purifiers, either. At least - I looked and couldn't find it. I have a little larger Honeywell unit which absolutely has a higher rate of air volume. But its filters don't show much build up either. - The dust build up is more noticeable on the Honeywell unit than the Mountain Air unit after about six months though. I've taken to running both together in a bedroom just on the idea of applying some "overkill" because both units are rated for larger floor area. The ozone output I keep at about 25% of max and sometimes i turn it off completely.

I'm not sure. I would assume that you could but why would you want to when the cloth or paper one's are much more comfortable. Plus the sweat may build up and get a little warm while you are exercising. PS. One person said that breathing was restricted but that would depend on what kind of filter you bought for it.I hope this helps.

This product is designed to sanitize surfaces, not the air in a room. There are other UV devices that are specifically made for that purpose.

Needs a lot of rinsing and corrosive mostly used for commercial outdoor air units. Look for nu calgon calclean in aerosol can 4081-75 non corrosive and much easier to rinse off with water.

Sorry about that I miss under stood the question. But as for the CFM of our machine I don't have the answer for you. I have been selling this machine for 6 months with some of the best results in sale in many years but the company has never had the unit tested for CFM. But the company told me they will try and find out from the actual motor manufacturer who make the motor for the air purifier. But as you know it is not that important for CFM's as it is for regular air flow in your home or office. There is no way a little fan in a air purifier could ever cover a whole house with air circulation . Ionization and air flow is how this unit works. Like when you burn toast in your home you can smell the burnt toast through your whole house.

Some air cleaners use ozone. However, this air purifier uses a filter. The only way that it can yield ozone is if there was an electrical problem causing arcing. I would say that all electrical products run this extremely low risk, and it has nothing to do with the air filtering functionality of this particular product. Also, if there was arcing, my feeling is that hazard due to ozone is the least of your concerns. Fire would be a real risk.

Hello, I don't think it has a formal approval. In my opinion it does a very good job. I have filtered the dirtiest water out hiking without issues. I do add the recommended drops of bleach as an added precaution.

When first applied, this product has a strong odor so it should be used with respiratory protection and/or in a well ventilated area (e.g., outdoors or in a garage area). After application, there is little to no residual odor.

I have no idea. I have never used it at times I would be sweating. Not sure that would work but I've not used it for that.
