Climate change is more than warming of the earth or oceans at an unprecedented rate, it is the change in atmospheric conditions that alter the environment in every way. In places where the usual amount of rain has been dramatically reduced, the levels of airborne dust particles is increasing. Walking on or driving on packed soil creates tiny sub-micron particles to be released into the air at a faster rate as there is less moisture to keep the soil intact upon impact.

These airborne particulate consist of both organic and inorganic materials some of which can be harmful when inhaled in small quantities over a long period of time. While our lungs can usually handle particles that are 10 microns or larger, the smaller particles tend to get trapped in the lung linings and mucus membranes and are slow to be released.

In 1985 Pure Air Systems was formed to produce and sell HEPA based air filtration systems for the residential market. In the past 30 years, PAS has grown from one system to seven and now provides true, commercial grade, HEPA systems to the commercial, institutional, industrial, medical and residential markets and sells its’ systems all over the world.

While homes and buildings have developed a much better process to keep them close to air tight, the higher levels of sub-micron particulate are still present in the buildings. More importantly, these particulate are at very high concentrations when the air is stagnant or on hot, dry days. The PAS HEPA systems have proven themselves to be  extremely effective at removing 99.99% of all particles 0.3 microns or larger and close to 99% of smaller particles.

Extreme weather produces extreme environmental conditions and it is important to understand the relationship especially if you live out west in the dryer climates.

My name is Don Musilli. I started Pure Air Systems in 1985 and then sold it in 2006. I continue to consult for PAS and write their blog and control their Twitter account. I also, on occasion, make changes to the website. The company is now almost 26 years old and has been a major player in offering commercial grade, high performance HEPA and Carbon based filtration systems for the commercial, institutional, industrial and residential markets.

I currently reside in Englewood, Florida where I write blogs and do social media marketing for a number of clients.
