The Air Supply Model 1500 Wearable Air Purifier will neutralize and destroy up to 90% of airborne germs and pollutants so you can breathe cleaner air anywhere!
This tiny, portable and wearable air purifier uses corona discharge technology to help isolate you from contamination by helping purify the air you breathe.
The Air Supply cleans air naturally and is about the size of a deck of cards. Purified air - air quality similar to the clean, fresh air created by a thunderstorm -
streams upward to your mouth, nose and eyes.
It is virtually silent, is far more effective than an ionizer and requires no maintenance or replacement
parts.
It weighs only 4.5 ounces (including battery) and is worn on a short cord around your neck or in a shirt pocket. It also includes AC and car cigarette lighter adapter.
Pollutants are drawn into the Air Supply and destroyed internally, continuously producing cleaner,
fresher air at 65 feet per minute-approximately the same rate as human breathing.
Great for airplanes, automobiles, elevators, trains, restaurants, theaters, casinos, schools, offices, allergy seasons, pet allergies, etc...
The Air Supply was reviewed by Good Housekeeping (March 1999) and featured on NBC Dateline 2/5/99.
This products is patented technology, that has been laboratory tested and proven effective and it is guaranteed.

Is corona discharge technology safe?
Corona Discharge is entirely safe and has been used as an
effective means of purification for decades by the military and in industry.
Corona discharge technology has been used by
the military, to destroy toxic biological and nerve agents in the field and in
laboratories, and in industry manufacturing "clean rooms" for years.
How does Air Supply differ from a HEPA filter?
HEPA filtration devices capture particles
(down to 0.3 micron in size), and the filters need to be replaced. Air Supply is a cold
incineration device which actually destroys the airborne contaminants. Different
contaminants are neutralized and destroyed in different manners, depending on their
chemical properties. Air Supply is not a filtration device, and no parts need to be
replaced or serviced.
What causes the air to flow from the device? Is there a fan inside?
No, there is not a fan. Air
Supply's negative corona discharge sets up a powerful, electrodynamically driven airflow,
drawing pollutants into it and ejecting purified air at a velocity of 65 feet per
minute for the 1500 and 100 feet per minute for the 150MM.
Is the Air Supply an ionizer?
No. Air Supply is a corona discharge device.
An ionizer uses electrostatic precipitation to negatively charge particles. Although a
corona discharge device has an ionization effect internally, it uses an electronic plasma
incineration, similar to a lightning strike, to destroy airborne contaminants. Corona
discharge is able to destroy many more airborne contaminants than traditional
ionization. The negative ions which are generated internally are neutralized
by the neutral grid of the Air Supply before the purified air is emitted to the
users face.
Is Air Supply an ozone generator?
No. Although one of the byproducts of corona discharge
is a small output of ozone.
Is the level of ozone output safe?
Yes. OSHA guidelines define permissible ozone
exposure limits at 100 parts per billion. Air Supply emits
between 26 and 28 parts of ozone per billion, or less than 30% of OSHA permissible levels.
However, those who are sensitive to low levels of ozone should not use the Air Supply.
How long will batteries last in the Air Supply unit?
The Air Supply is very power efficient. A 9
volt alkaline battery can allow the AS1500 to operate continuously for 40 continuous hours.
The AS15MM uses lithium (CR123A) batteries that lasts for up to 60 continuous hours.
How should Air Supply be cleaned?
Once a week, blow into the screen to
eliminate any carbonized accumulation on the emitter or the screen. Also, wipe the grill
screen clean. There are no user serviceable parts inside the Air Supply. If the unit
is used where smoke is present, you simply need to plug in the AC adapter and allow the
Air Supply to run for 1 or 2 hours to self clean itself, at least once per week.
Is the Air Supply a medical device?
NO. These are not medical devices.
Users should not eliminate any medical therapy programs unless advised by a physician.
If you have a pacemaker please consult your physician before using Air Supply.
Are other products as effective as Air Supply?
NO. Other companies have been marketing their own version of
portable air purifiers. Wein Products is the originator of this technology.
Compare the AS1500 and AS150MM Air Supply Portable Air Purifiers with Sharper Image and Lentek units.
