For over 50 years, California residents have been fighting to improve the quality of the air they breathe outdoors. Their efforts have been well rewarded: levels of outdoor air pollutants have fallen dramatically. More recently the air quality battle has shifted indoors.

The air inside of homes and buildings is often more polluted than outdoor air with levels of certain chemicals being many times higher than they are outside. There’s little doubt, inhaling these pollutants isn’t good for your health and, in some cases, it’s outright dangerous.

​The newly invented and designed EPAC is an in-home appliance. The EPAC combines a “tent” (CASTLE) for enclosure of the sleeper’s bed in the fashion of a “canopy bed” with special décor, technology and entertainment options and a miniaturized room air purifier attached to the CASTLE directing pure air inside.  There is a baby/single bed sized unit and a double bed sized unit.  Queen, king and specialty size units are planned.

Indoor air pollution caused by the burning of wood or charcoal used for cooking or heating constitutes a public health problem with repercussions for the population under five years of age and women of reproductive age, especially in the country’s marginalized areas. In 1990, one of every three Mexicans (91 percent of rural inhabitants and 11 percent of urban inhabitants) used wood for cooking. In 1993, 25.6 million persons were estimated to use wood as household fuel, decreasing to 17.2 million inhabitants in 2000.

Beijing

​On days when Beijing’s heavy air pollution is especially pungent, you can smell and taste the acridity—whether you’re outside on the street or inside most buildings. Air pollution doesn’t stay outdoors but seeps inside through open doors and window sealings. On most days, levels of dangerous pollutants, such as PM 2.5, are somewhat lower outside than inside, but not much lower.
