UV Flu Technologies to Spearhead Initiatives Aimed at Medical
Marijuana Air Problems
HIGHLAND PARK, IL--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2014) - UV Flu
Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (OTCQB: UVFT) (the "Company")
announced today that Company is planning marketing initiatives for
its line of FDA Cleared air purifier products. The company is
focused on selling its RX-Air Line to growers and dispensaries for
in-house use and distribution through the dispensaries to consumers
of the companies UV-400 unit. The company hopes this will help
resolve issues with Indoor Air Quality Risks associated with the
burgeoning markets for medical and legalized marijuana.
"The health impacts related to the smoking of marijuana or
cigarettes are damaging," said Jack Lennon, Founder and head
of New Product Development for UV Flu, "I feel this is a product
that can help growers and consumers."
"Ironically, although we have sold ViraTech UV-400 air purifiers
to companies in the sector, and continue to receive numerous
inquiries, the sales have been primarily for the devices ability to
remove smoke and odors, while also providing purified air for
greenhouses. Air passing through our patented kill chamber exits
almost free of impurities, as well as odors, but the catalytic
reaction also produces trace amounts of pure water vapor and CO2,
elements known to promote plant growth. Our concerns have always
been with the higher risk of cancer, respiratory issues and
miscarriage, all associated with the direct or second-hand smoke
from marijuana sold today, which can be up to 15 times stronger
than the drug smoked in the 1960s," said Mr. Lennon. "But we now
feel with the unprecedented growth in the sector, we can market to
the growers, dispensaries, as well as the consumers, and in the
process, help all involved, including adjoining renters who become
impacted by the smoke and odors."
"As a veterinarian, particularly one that uses and recommends
the ViraTech UV-400 for her clients, the impact of pet owners
smoking these new types of marijuana can be particularly acute for
both pets and small children," said Dr. Barbara Bodolosky,
principal of the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County. "Both pets and
small children occupy the space 2 feet above floor level, where the
air can be up to 10 times dirtier than that close to the ceiling.
The combustion involved with smoking marijuana is much less
efficient than cigarettes, causing a much higher concentration of
carcinogens sinking to floor levels."
"We have found that the UV-400 can disinfect a typical room
within 30 minutes, and animals seem to migrate to rooms where the
air purifier is operating. Dogs can exhibit cancer and health
issues just like humans, and they can sense areas with clean air to
breathe," said Dr. Bodolosky.
"Our Company prides itself on trying to educate the public to
the constant introduction of new health risks associated to Indoor
Air pollution," said Michael Ross, President of UV Flu. "Through
our website, and shows we are attending, such as the AHA Show in
Nashville from March 19-22, with thousands of veterinarians and
kennel owners attending, and the MedTrade Show in Las Vegas, being
held from March 10-12th, with thousands of medical professional
attending, we attempt to get the word out. Indoor Air Pollution is
the 'Smoking Gun' of many of the health problems we're experiencing
today, and UV Flu plans on being at forefront to stopping the
spread of airborne sickness and toxins," said Mr. Ross.
