Reducing Co2

GermXit Gel Bio-Contaminant Reduction System

Even the most thorough cleaning cannot remove bacteria, mold spores and other microbial contaminants 100%. What’s more, microorganisms never stop growing and multiplying. If something is not done to control continued growth, a ventilation system will continue to churn out contaminated air no matter how often it is cleaned.

A comprehensive contaminant reduction system was needed. Over 20 years ago, IAQ began work on the product that has become Air Purification Gel (APG) and developed it into the world’s first certified bio- contaminant and carbon reduction system – CBCR System.

Gasses: We Breathe In and Breathe Out

The air which we breathe in and breathe out is not pure oxygen or carbon dioxide respectively. As we all knew that our body and the cells inside it require more oxygen to respire and to perform its regular functions and our environment does not provide us with an exclusive supply of oxygen. In a similar way, while breathing out, we do exclusively give out carbon dioxide. Let’s know more about the composition of gases we breathe.

Gases We Breathe Out

When we exhale, the composition of the air remains almost the same as the air we inhale, only the percentage of carbon dioxide and oxygen changes. The amount of inhaled air contains 21% of oxygen and 0.04% of carbon dioxide, while the air we breathe out contains 16.4% of oxygen and 4.4% of carbon dioxide. This is because our cells use oxygen from the inhaled air to release energy and give out carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
