Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I use a Honeywell air cleaner no charcoal though In a message dated 1/21/2011 2:28:11 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I suggest calling the manufacturers of the air cleaners before buying one to ask if they are coated with anything that might need to be run outside for a few hours. Same thing with any new appliance. Barth www.presenting.net/sbs/sbs.html SUBMIT YOUR DOCTOR: www.presenting.net/sbs/molddoctors.html --- ap> The same thing happened to me.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 check out el foust, they have stainless canisters, you can order samples of various filter media materials to see if they are tolerable for you. sue v >That's odd.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 When purchasing one consider who it is from , that they will take it back if you have a problem. Make sure it is made for MCS'ers although some may still have problem with the different carbons used. http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/allertech400.html http://www.allerair.com/air-purifiers/air-purifiers-home-office-multiple-chemica\ l-sensitivity.html http://www.achooallergy.com/IQAIRGCGCX.asp http://www.air-purifier-home.com/chemical-purifier/ needs.com    God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: anita paulsen <apami@...> Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 1:21:02 PM Subject: [] Re: Air purifers for chemicals  The same thing happened to me.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The more carbon the air purifier has the more ordor is removed. I do not like how on the Rabbit Air page the second chemical camparison is acetic acid, nothing more than vinager. than is like trying pull the wool over your eyes. I rather go for a little noise and better air.  http://www.rabbitair.com/technology.aspx God Bless !! dragonflymcs Mayleen ________________________________ From: sue <svican@...> Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 3:25:52 PM Subject: Re: [] Re: Air purifers for chemicals  check out el foust, they have stainless canisters, you can order samples of various filter media materials to see if they are tolerable for you. sue v >That's odd.

Herer is where I got other things, not the air purifier, but they seem to have decent pries. anyone else know about them? http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/airpurifiers.html nfi I also got water filters that go on the shower head because I coouldn't take the chlorine. i made my skin hurt and I couldn't breath.
