"Pure Air’s avoidance procedures take into account in-house protective and mitigation measures that have a marked therapeutic effect to occupants" says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Jorge Moreno. "For instance, when evaluating an occupant complaint involving coughing or sneezing, Pure Air can determine the potential cause effect relationships"

Pure Air’s solutions then assess the extent of contamination that exists in homes and businesses. The evaluation provides consumers with an understanding of what conditions are considered ‘normal’ for establishing a base line.

The results highlight any discrepancies found within the ‘normal’ indoor environment, aiding effective remediation by pinpointing the exact areas that need improvement. Providing a remediation plan to eliminate existing as well as possible IAQ issues is critical to Pure Air’s total solution approach. The company develops, designs, and assists in the implementation of protocols established to eliminate the causes of poor IAQ.
