Austin Air Systems Partners With
National Sleep Foundation National Sleep Foundation
Launches Air Purification System for the Bedroom
Buffalo, NY January 15, 2010 -- Austin Air
Systems, America’s leading indoor air cleaner manufacturer, is
pleased to announce its partnership with the National Sleep
Foundation (NSF) to launch a new National Sleep
Foundation-branded air purification system specifically designed for
the bedroom. The National Sleep Foundation Bedroom Machine by Austin Air makes its debut at
the Big Sleep Show in Washington, DC in January 2010.
Developed and designed by Austin Air, the National Sleep
Foundation Bedroom Machine uses an advanced HEPA filter system,
designed to remove common bedroom pollutants, such as cooking gases,
dry cleaning chemicals, and other airborne irritants and allergens.
The unit was selected for use in a new Johns Hopkins University
School of Public Health study on asthma and bedroom air quality and
a number of University of Buffalo studies on environment and asthma.
“The National Sleep Foundation is pleased to introduce the
first bedroom product to carry the National Sleep Foundation name,”
reports David M. Cloud, NSF’s Chief Executive Officer. “This is very
advanced bedroom air purification system and is made by one of the
most-respected manufacturers in the industry. We are proud to be
working with the experts at Austin Air to make the National Sleep
Foundation Bedroom Machine available so people can breathe cleaner
air as they sleep.”
“There are huge implications for our
collaboration,” said Richard Taylor, Founder and President of Austin
Air Systems, adding “Respiratory illness is one of the primary
causes of sleep disturbance. The medical evidence coming out of the
research now provides the most compelling argument possible of the
necessity of clean air in promoting healthy sleep.” A Johns Hopkins
study, published in the February 2009 edition of Environmental
Health Perspectives, found an association between high levels of
indoor particulate matter pollution and the severity of asthma
symptoms among children.
“The results of the recent Johns
Hopkins study are important,” says Thomas Balkin, PhD, Chairman of
the National Sleep Foundation’s Board of Directors. “The potential
health benefits of improving bedroom air quality, particularly when
people are reclining in bed, are often overlooked. Right now, the
Bedroom Machine is being used in several studies to advance the
science of sleep and air quality.”
The National Sleep
Foundation Bedroom Machine by Austin Air is available nationally
through Austin’s dealer network.

About Austin Air The Austin Air
Healthmate was born out of necessity as President, Richard Taylor,
undertook the task of improving what many doctors and specialists
couldn’t; his wife’s quality of life. Since his wife, Joyce, was a
child, she had difficulty breathing. An endless round of doctors and
specialists didn't make any difference; neither did medications or
dietary changes. She suffered from this debilitating condition for
years, until Richard realized the obvious. The air Joyce was
breathing was contaminated.
Drawing upon technology used in
medical facilities, Richard reproduced the only environment where
Joyce had relief of her symptoms, “the hospital clean room”. Using
True Medical HEPA, surrounded with Activated Carbon he created a
filter that addressed all the issues related to environmental
particulate contamination and chemical toxicity. Within a week Joyce
was finally sleeping undisturbed through the night.
Today,
at 480,000 square feet Austin has the largest air cleaner
manufacturing facility in the world, producing everything in house
from filter, to metal forming, to the final paint. Austin air is
extremely proud that its air cleaners are the product of choice by
leading doctors throughout the United States and many other parts of
the world. As a matter of fact, there is hardly a country in the
world today, where an Austin Air cleaner is not hard at work
cleaning the air in someone's home.
