Ecomajik Corporation To Offer Air Purifiers to Texas Wildfire Victims

Locally based Ecomajik Corporation announced today it will try to do it's part to help neighbors dealing with smoke damage and health concerns after the wildfires across the Austin, Texas area. The company distributes Air Purifiers with technology designed for NASA for use in the Space Shuttle. These air purifiers have long been used by the Red Cross and were employed by the Defense Department to clean the air in the Pentagon after the 911 attack.

Ecomajik will provide air purifiers to residents on a loan basis without charge. Additionally if residents are interested in purchasing units they have established a special program to help fire victims.

"My husband and I survived the wildfires in San Diego several years back. We know what challenges families have to deal with, even when your home makes it through the crisis untouched. Sometimes smoke damage can linger for weeks or months and is very unhealthy for inhabitants. Our Air Purifiers eliminate smoke and mitigate smoke damage from fires killing all odors and removing contaminants from the air." noted Susan Braun Ecomajik Corporation President. "Breathing this contaminated air can be very hazardous to your health, especially if your are an "at risk" individual." she added.

Residents in Bastrop, Moonglow, Steiner Ranch, Pedernales, Union Chapel, Luther Hill, and surrounding areas qualify for the free loan of equipment while supplies last. The air purifiers remove all contaminants from the air in homes and sanitize exposed surfaces as well. About the size of a bookshelf speaker they can clean a home up to 3,000 sq feet.

TX Active has created a concrete coating that reduces nitrogen oxides, a smog-causing compound emitted by vehicles. Alcoa embraced this application to build an architectural panel that not only cleans itself but also the air around it. The aluminum panel includes a titanium dioxide coating that interacts with sunlight to break smog into a harmless residue easily washed away. The panels also support lower maintenance costs. Company officials report 10,000 square feet of panels have the air-cleansing power of nearly 80 trees. USA Today reported other pollution-fighting applications include ceiling tiles by Armstrong Ceiling and Wall Systems that remove formaldehyde. The Ionic Bulb by Zevotek is an energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamp that has an air purifier that eliminates allergens, pollen and dust.
