Alen Products May Reduce Chance of Flu and H1N1
Avoid the Flu with Alen Corp.’s New Silver Ion HEPA Air Filter – Reduces
Airborne Viruses by up to 50%
With five key populations, totaling 159 million people in the U.S., at higher risk of
disease or complications from H1N1 this fall, Alen Corp. has responded to the flu
pandemic by launching a new Silver Ion HEPA filter. This highly efficient and affordable
air filter eliminates 99% of airborne allergens, 98% of bacteria, and up to 50% of the
viruses that cause influenza after 24 hours of use – creating the healthiest home or office
possible this flu season.
Alen Corp, a leading manufacturer of indoor air quality products for home and office, has a new Silver Ion HEPA Air Filter for households and offices seeking to reduce airborne viruses that cause the flu. The new HEPA air filter is coated with silver, an eco-friendly and non toxic substance naturally occurring in nature that provides anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral protection.
The Silver Ion HEPA filter is more affordable than other air sterilization methods and is extremely efficient when compared to ultra violet technology alone. The Silver Ion HEPA filter reduces up to 50% of airborne viruses that cause the flu after just 24 hours of use -
“We felt the need to respond to the H1N1 flu pandemic by creating the new Silver Ion
HEPA filter that will provide consumers with the cleanest air possible in their home or
office at a price they can afford,” said Peter Mann, CEO of Alen Corp. “The CDC is
reporting that approximately 159 million people in the U.S. are at higher risk of
complications from H1N1 this flu season, including:
• pregnant women;
• people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age;
• healthcare and emergency services personnel;
• persons between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age;
• and those ages 25 through 64 with chronic health problems or compromised
immune systems.
Viruses grow by taking over another living cell and reprogramming the nucleus to
replicate the virus rather than the healthy cell. As part of this process, the cell reverts to a
more primitive form that relies upon a primitive form of oxygen metabolizing enzyme as
a chemical lung. Silver ions reduce the oxygen being brought into the harmful virusproducing
cell and it dies by suffocation,” concluded Mann.
