5000 DS/DXS
The nature of tobacco smoke
Tobacco smoke consists of tars, water vapor, carbon dioxide, nicotine and over
400 other chemicals
Tars accumulate on draped, furniture, clothing, walls and other surfaces and continue
to release tar vapors and odors long after active smoking has stopped.
Specially designed to deal with tobacco smoke
The DS series: the safest, most effective air cleaning for tobacco smoke
Cost savings
The air in the room effectively cleans and recirculates. There is no need to bring
in energy consuming outdoor air.
Remove lingering odors
Leaving the DS unit on while the area is inactive removes lingering odor from tars
accumulated on surfaces leaving a fresh atmosphere for opening time
Consult our experts
AllerAir air quality experts can suggest the best combination of filtration and carbon
blend for your application
Electrostatic devices: not as effective
Electrostatic air filtration devices only filter the particles in tobacco smoke
but leave the toxic chemicals
Electrostatic filters become quickly saturated and ineffective;
requiring frequent and expensive changes
Ozone, which damages the lining of the lungs, is given off by electrostatic air filtering
device filters. The EPA has issued a warning on the dangers of breathing ozone
Tar builds up on the electronic plates and toxic materials are emitted back into the air
Adsorb tobacco smoke, odors and chemicals with AllerAir's unique
Tar-trapping filter combined with activated carbon filtration
The tar-trapping filter traps tar like a cigarette filter
The activated carbon absorbs the airborne chemicals, gases and odors
Activated carbon absorbs up to 60% of its own weight of airborne chemical compounds
The 5000 DS series has 22 lbs of specially blended activated carbon
Carbon traps and removes the gases and odors permanently, it does not mask them
or move them to another area
