Acetaldehyde is colorless, used in production of perfumes, polyester resins, and basic dyes. It is manufactured by oxidation of ethyl alcohol and by catalytic hydration of acetylene. It is considered to be an irritant rather than a corrosive hazard in which the vapors can cause severe eye, lung, and skin irritation.
Ammonia has the appearance of a colorless gas with a sharp/pungent odor. It can be found in household cleaners, wax removers, and glass cleaners. Ammonia is widely used in fertilizers, plastics, explosives, and smelling salts.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas. The fumes are impossible to see, taste, or smell; and can affect your health before you are aware it is in your home. It is a
temporary atmospheric pollutant in some urban areas, chiefly from the exhaust of internal combustion engines (including vehicles on the road or in attached garages, portable and back-up generators, lawn mowers, power washers, etc.), but also from incomplete combustion of various other fuels (including wood, coal, charcoal, oil, paraffin, propane, natural gas, trash, and tobacco smoke). Our Purafil/Carbon mix in our D-Model is the only filter that will remove this harmful toxin
Isopropyl Alcohol is commonly used in spray perfumes as a diluent, in cleaning agents, dehydrating agents, preservatives, and in coating solvents. Inhalation can cause irritation to the respiratory tract while higher concentration exposure can cause headache, dizziness, fatigue, and possible death.
Nitrogen dioxide is produced by atmospheric nuclear tests, and is responsible for the reddish color of mushroom clouds.
Sulfur Dioxide is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that is very toxic to humans. Some of the applications that sulfur dioxide is used for are food preservation, fungicide, and in the brewing industry
