It's time for some
PRO-ACTIVE SOLUTIONS!!!
While
it is true that the indoor air quality problems we face are HUGE
-- far
worse than what we would have imagined,
the SOLUTIONS are far better
than we could have hoped or dreamed.
All we have to do is bring the air purification processes on the OUTside into the INside!

What Can We Do?
We
knew there had to be a way to fix what's wrong with
our piece of this planet, for, as one very wise
man used to say, "If
there is no solution, there is no problem.”
What has been provided in nature to handle outdoor
pollution is the natural solution for indoor pollution.
And it just so happens that it is Best
Available
Today’s
Technology
(“BATT”).
By
making use of BATT,
we
can provide a safe environment around us wherever
we are -- at home, at school, at work, out in a
crowd, sitting in an auditorium or theater, or riding
in a car or in public transportation.
This allows us to take responsibility for and control
of our own health and safety, even if we are forced
to be in places where the air or water quality may
be suspect at best.
Providing a friendly environment for ourselves in
an otherwise alien world is possible. It just takes
some careful evaluation and understanding of a number
of factors so that proper analyses and corrective
actions can be made. And then, bring the OUTdoors
IN! |
Wherever
we find ourselves,
we
need to understand that our ideal situation
is
to occupy healthy environments which shelter and support
people and activities
and,
at the same time,
make
life unbearable
for – or at least control –
those
elements from which we seek relief.
|
Ironically, for all of our modern “development”,
we often wind up spending large portions of our time
in just the opposite kind of setting. Our shelters
are not only havens to the things that attack our
health, but also the buildings themselves may well
wind up making us weak, sick, or, in some cases, even
dead.
To
address the problem, we need to first understand a
few basic principles.
1.
Any structure
or building we inhabit — from a skyscraper
to a small stand alone building, to a garret attic
or redesigned loft, to a basement bedroom or cave
in the rocks — represents an enclosed or potentially
enclosed air space.
2.
Every
enclosed air space (or water system) becomes an
ecosystem or biosphere.
3.
Every
building representing an enclosed air
space (which makes it, by default, an ecosystem
or biosphere) also  comprises
a hierarchy of ecosystems, meaning that there are
air spaces within air spaces, systems within systems.
The larger of such systems would be the structure
itself. But within that structure there may be large
common areas, large gathering or living rooms, smaller
rooms and living spaces, kitchen and eating areas,
bathroom facilities, attics, basements and crawl
spaces, air duct systems, closets, pantries, cabinets,
drawers, dead air spaces, etc., each of which will
take on its own atmosphere (society prefers to call
it “ambiance”) or set of characteristics.
4.
Every airspace/ecosystem will supply the basic needs
for some form or forms of living things —
among which are the requisites for respiration,
nutrition, hydration, and perpetuation.
5.
There may be similarities within each of the airspaces,
ecosystems, or biospheres, but,
depending upon what occupies them and the quality
of the air (and/or water) within them, there can
be radical differences.
6.
Not all airspaces/ecosystems are friendly to
all life forms. Whatever organisms or microorganisms
will survive or thrive will take up residence
there and will establish claim to as much “turf”
as circumstances will allow. Whatever bio-forms
find conditions lacking or alien will move on
if possible, or weaken, or sicken, or die.
|
Can't
we all just get along? NOT!
(Just because we live together does not mean
we are compatible with each other!) |
7.
Most airspaces/ecosystems will support multiple
life forms which are not necessarily friendly to
or compatible with the other life forms supported
in that same airspace/ecosystem. (Cockroaches and
vermin may share office and living quarters with
humans, but that does not mean that they are going
to get along.)
8.
Some life forms, having established themselves in
a favorable ecosystem, will actually set about to
make that environment unfriendly to other life forms
– including those of their own species, seeking
to make that air or water space exclusively their
own. |
|
9.
Sometimes the life forms, usually by ignorance
or carelessness, actually wind up making the
ecosystem unfriendly or downright alien
to themselves. This is rarely,
if ever, seen among the lower life forms, but
it has been elevated by mankind almost to an
art or lifestyle called “progress”.
10.
In either ¶ 8 or 9 above, one deteriorated
or deteriorating airspace within a greater structure
can detrimentally affect others and, indeed,
the whole enclosed environment.
11.
The intelligent / pro-active approach is to
a.
survey both the overall as well as the
individual airspaces / ecosystems / water
systems within a work or activity center,
b.
identify all that is alien in each which would
be detrimental to the life, health, and safety
of the selected specie,
c.
inventory the strengths and weaknesses of
the spaces and the flow of air (or water)
through them, and
d.
begin actively eliminating those components
which negatively affect the quality of the
airspaces and improving those which are positive
in their influence.
12.
Vulnerabilities exist in either one of or a
combination of these variables.
a.
Being on the go ourselves or occupying spaces
where we can directly contact
alien substances
which can compromise and potentially overpower
our
immune system’s ability to identify
and ward off infections; and/or
b.
Coming into contact with those who have been
infected, whether or not they themselves are
showing signs of sickness; and/or
c.
Having had direct or indirect contact ourselves,
we then unwittingly carry those pathogens
or contaminants with us wherever we go, further
spreading the problems among those for whom
we have the greatest concern. We become unwitting
carriers of potentially harmful diseases.

Think
of it this way. Design is everywhere abundant
in the universe around us.
The
solar system.
The weather system.
The eco-
system. The
circulatory system.
The
respiratory system.
The
nervous system.
The
skeletal system.
So
it only makes logical sense that if we are
going to fix what's wrong with our environment,
it will take a sytematic
approach to do an effective job of making
it better.
Like
the gears in a pocket watch, each piece plays
an important part in effecting a proper
TOTAL
SOLUTION.
