Zeolite Natures Magic Mineral

By Anonymous

July 26, 2004 -- Natural zeolite a volcanic mineral found all over the globe has amazing properties. It has a negative ionic charge (most things in nature have a positive charge). Zeolite is able to "attract" particles to it. Thus is has become one of the best natural non-toxic environmentally friendly odor control product, odor eliminator. Zeolite will attract, absorb, eliminate all types of household odors. It is also used as an animal feed additive, soil enhancer, spill absorbent, etc. Zeolite has 1001 uses!

About Volcanic Zeolite
Natural volcanic zeolite is a mineral consisting of silica and alumina.There are large deposits of volcanic zeolite minerals found in the western United States. Natural zeolites have a unique interconnecting lattice structure. This lattice structure is arranged to form a honeycomb framework of consistent diameter interconnecting channels and pores. Negatively charged alumina and neutrally charged silica tetrahedra building blocks are stacked to produce the open three dimensional honeycomb framework. Zeolites actually attract odors & gases and trap them in its crystaline structure.The active ingredient in the Zeofresh product line is natural volcanic zeolite. Natural zeolites are formed from the altered volcanic ash. Zeolite has the ability to adsorb and desorb water, and gas molecules (odors) without any chemical or physical change in the zeolite itself. The material can encompass and control many times its weight in odors or moisture. Mildew is an organism that thrives in areas of excess moisture, and leaves a stale, undesireable odor. Zeofresh products remove the moisture, and the mildew dissappears!

Volcanic zeolite based odor control products last for years because they can be "recharged in sunlight". After the product has become saturated with the odors it has been absorbing, you can set the mesh pouches outside in direct sunlight for 6 hours, this renews and recharges the zeolite for many years of further use!

Great household odor absorbers, used in kitchens for cooking odors, in basements for musty mold & mildew odors, in bathrooms, laundry rooms, airducts, attics, refrigerators, freezers, pet areas: place zeolite bags near litter boxes, pet cages, pet beds, in cars, school lockers, gym lockers, closets, etc. Our non-toxic volcanic zeolite mineral granules have a natural ionic charge that attracts & absorbs airborne odors caused by: cigar smoke, cigarette smoke, pet urine, ammonia, chemicals, methane, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, toxic fumes, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), formaldehyde, "new carpet smell" (carpet outgassing), etc. No harmful chemicals or perfumes are used to mask odor.    


Indoor Air Pollution
Do certain smells or odors annoy you? Do you have chemical sensitivity, do you suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). A $3 billion dollar market exists today for odor-masking agents which are designed to coverup problem odors & gases you can detect with your nose. They only temporarily mask the odors, and they actually add chemicals and worsen the problem of indoor air pollution. Zeolite absorbs the odors & gases which cause them, it doesn't just mask them! Here are some further tips for reducing indoor air pollution: use only non-toxic, non-odor emitting cleaning products, purchase enviromentally safe building products, fabrics and carpets. Choose paints & stains with low odor formulas that don't contain formaldehyde and other volatile compounds. Do not use unvented kerosene heaters. Have a professional inspect, clean and adjust oil & gas-fired furnaces. Have your chimney inspected and cleaned professionally also. Purchase of a hepa type furnace air filter or portable hepa air cleaner will improve the quality of your indoor air.

VOC's & Formaldehydes
Volatile Organic Compounds are chemical compounds that easily evaporate (volatile) and contain one or more carbon atoms (organic). Formaldehyde is problably the most common VOC found in homes. Here are some other common VOC's: gasoline, benzene, alcohol, toluene, xylene, terpentine, cleaning chemicals. VOC's can be found in many different types of building materials and home products, such as: paint, solvents, caulking, tobacco smoke, construction adhesives, particle board shelving & kitchen cabinets, laminated wood veneer furniture, wall paper, particle board subflooring, interior-grade plywood, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, dyes, inks, medicines, new carpet outgassing, carpet padding, carpet adhesives, hair products, paper products, cleaning products, etc. Medical journals have documented the negative effects of VOC, formaldehyde exposure to include: dizziness, nausea, fatique, reduced limb strength, headaches, eye, nose, throat irritation, breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, excessive phlegm, dermatitis, chest pain, wheezing, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Formaldeyhde and other VOC's have been linked to cancer in animal studies. Most people fail to realize that indoor air pollution levels can be far worse than outdoor air pollution in a big city like Los Angeles!

Formaldehyde Identifiers: BFV, Fannoform, Formalin, Formalith, Formic Aldehyde, Formol, Fyde, HCHO, Ivalon, Karsan,
Lysoform, Methanal, Methyl Aldehyde, Methylene Oxide, Morbicide, Oxomethane, Oxomethylene, Paraform, Superlysoform.

Note: Most state laws mandate manufacturers use the term VOC on their product labels (for paints, solvents, etc.), in New Jersey the term VOS is used (it stands for volatile organic substances).

Reduce/eliminate symptoms associated with Sick Building Syndrome, (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, (EI) Environmental Illness, Migraine Headaches, Allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS),Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, etc.
by reducing, eliminating the chemical odors, VOC's, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, carpet outgassing, and other neurotoxic irritants that can be the underlying cause of these ailments.
