Poor Indoor Air Quality is a Serious Health Hazard
No environment is immune to poor indoor air quality problems. Firstly, this could result from biological contamination caused by living organisms such as bacteria, viruses, mold, pollen, dust mites and insect droppings that accumulate in ducts, carpeting, insulation and drains. Secondly, it can be caused by volatile organic compound (VOC) and chemical emissions resulting from the use of products such as cleaners, disinfectants, fragrances, air fresheners, cigarettes, insecticides, paint, carpets, adhesives and laminated furniture. Thirdly, equipment such as printers, copy machines and various manufacturing processes can also emit noxious chemical and particulate contaminants.
Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust and lint. Noxious odors, pollutants and germs are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in concentration and result in serious indoor air pollution problems e.g. sick building syndrome.
According to the EPA, "indoor pollution can be as much as 100 times greater than outdoors." Research performed by the World Health Organization indicates over 30 percent of buildings worldwide are affected by contaminated indoor air. Since most people spend close to 90% of their time indoors and breathe about 20,000 liters of air/day, indoor air pollution poses a serious health risk. Medical problems that have been associated with poor indoor air quality include dizziness, headaches, eye, nose or throat irritation, dry or itchy skin, nausea, shortness of breath, difficulty in concentrating, fatigue, sensitivity to odors, allergies, asthma, depression, and chronic illnesses.

SaniLite™ will purify your air by destroying airborne allergens and irritants such as pollen, tobacco smoke and pet dander by simply turning on your light. Best of all, this safe product eliminates the need for harmful chemicals and UV light commonly used for sanitizing. Fighting allergies has never been easier.
SaniLite™ Destroys Deadly Pollutants
Indoor air pollution is caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemical contaminants released from various products, appliances and equipment. It is a serious health threat and must be eliminated to provide a safe, healthy and productive environment. A simple and effective way to destroy harmful chemical pollutants like formaldehyde, styrene and toluene is to switch to SaniLite™ from ordinary fluorescent lights. The nano photocatalytic technology employed in this product will oxidize noxious chemical contaminants into harmless carbon dioxide and water by simply switching on a light!
SaniLite™ Eliminates Unpleasant Odors Safely
If you are currently using air fresheners, scented gels, aerosols or plug-in fresheners, you could be exposed to harmful chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde and pthalates. These chemicals have been linked to breathing difficulties, development problems in babies and cancer in lab animals according to the Sierra Club, The Natural Resources Defense Council, Alliance for Healthy Homes and the National Center for Healthy Housing. When you switch to SaniLite™, you will be destroying odors safely instead of masking them with deadly chemicals. It is ideal for any place you have persistent odors and is a healthy alternative to harmful chemical based deodorizers.
SaniLite™ Saves Money!
Although the up-front cost of SaniLite™ may be slightly higher than a standard fluorescent tube, the cost savings over the life of the light can be significant since it lasts for over 5,000 hours and you will no longer have to use harmful consumable chemical based deodorizers, sanitizers or filters which will save you money and time.
SaniLite™ is Maintenance Free
Since SaniLite™ fluorescent light tubes last for over 5,000 hours, they will keep on cleaning your air during this time and you wont have to worry about maintenance like cleaning and changing filters or buying sanitizers and disinfectants. The nano technology employed also has a self cleaning feature so your fluorescent tubes will stay cleaner longer. Also, since SaniLite™ is completely quiet and looks like any other fluorescent tube, your customers wont notice the difference when they are in your facility. So switch to SaniLite™ and forget about it while it sanitizes your air.
SaniLite™ Helps Comply with Indoor Air Quality Regulations
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations have Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) for hazardous chemicals. In order to provide workers with a safe environment, companies are responsible for ensuring their employees are not overexposed to hazardous substances. Most other countries also have similar regulations to ensure a safe workplace and fines can be steep for non compliance in addition to negative publicity. A simple switch to SaniLite™ can help any company create a safer environment to comply with indoor air quality regulations.
SaniLite™ Helps Fight Global Warming
Air purifiers are powered mainly by coal burning power plants and natural gas, both of which create greenhouse gases (GHG) that cause global warming. The EPA estimates that 1.535 lbs of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere for every kilowatt hour of electricity generated by a coal-fired plant. By replacing your air purifiers with SaniLite™ which does not take up any more power then a regular fluorescent light, you will reduce your energy consumption which will in turn reduce the amount of coal burned and resulting greenhouse gas emissions.
SanLite™ Prevents Other Pollution Too
Coal-fired power plant smokestacks are also a big threat to health. In addition to releasing carbon dioxide, they also release sulfur dioxide (main cause of acid rain), nitrogen oxide (causes smog and acid rain), radioactive pollutants (can release more than a nuclear power plant) and particulates. These deadly pollutants could lead to heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks and premature deaths. Using SaniLite™ will help reduce this pollution and smog by using less energy since it will be performing the dual function of lighting your facility while cleaning your air. Furthermore, it can also help reduce the negative impacts from radioactive waste and hydroelectic plants.
SaniLite™ Reduces your Carbon Footprint
By using the single multi tasking SaniLite™ instead of electrically powered air purifiers and fluorescent lights, you will be using less energy by retiring an appliance. This will result in you generating less carbon dioxide and thus reducing your carbon footprint. Furthermore, by discontinuing the use of chemically based deodorizers you will further reduce your carbon footprint since these products are consumables and require a significant amount of energy to produce.
SaniLite™ is Maintenance Free
Since SaniLite™ lasts for years, it will keep on cleaning your air during this time and you wont have to worry about maintenance like cleaning and changing filters or buying sanitizers and disinfectants. The nano technology coating employed also has a self cleaning feature so your fluorescent lights will stay cleaner longer. Also, since SaniLite™ looks just like any other fluorescent light tube, your employees and customers wont notice the difference while they are in your facility. So switch to SaniLite™, and forget about it while it sanitizes your air.
SaniLite™ Saves Money!
When you use SaniLite™ you wont have to invest in an air purifier and you will minimize your consumption of harmful consumable chemical based deodorizers, sanitizers or filters. This is sure to save you money.
How Does SaniLite™ Work?
SaniLite™ combines the energy efficient fluorescent light technology with a nano photocatalytic coating to produce a multi-tasking fluorescent light that sanitizes, purifies and deodorizes the air while providing excellent quality lighting. The cleaning power of SaniLite™ is made possible by the high tech next generation nano material which acts as a photocatalyst. This means it harnesses light energy emitted from SaniLite™ and sunlight to convert oxygen and moisture from the atmosphere to super oxide anions (oxygen with an extra electron) and hydroxyl free radicals.
The super oxide anions, which are like oxygen on steroids, along with hydroxyl radicals provide sanitizing and cleaning power to destroy and convert germs, chemical contaminants and odors into harmless carbon dioxide (which is expelled during respiration) and water via a powerful process of oxidation. The wonderful thing about a photocatalyst is that is does not get depleted and this cycle continues indefinitely as long as light is available. As an analogy, plants also utilize a photocatalyst called chlorophyll which captures sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. This innovative product truly harnesses the power of light and nature to clean your air safely.
