So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Breathe In Deeply With Car Air Ionizers

By Kai White


Majority of the people contemplate about the quality of air inside our houses and the environment outside it. How about the condition of the air inside our cars? The review made by the Dohring Company indicated that over 95% of the people representing the population were bothered by the air quality in cars.

Americans spend a huge amount of time inside their vehicle, averaging to 1.5 hours daily. It takes my friend 2 hours every day for five days a week, to go to work. That corresponds to a five-day workweek.

Alarmingly, the air in the car is twice up to five times unhealthier compared to the air at home or in a workplace, according to most recent assessments. Technically, the car is just a smaller form compared to a house or a workplace and the space is more contained and is more prone to allergies associated to fungus and warning signs similar to sick building syndrome. Fungi can penetrate the air through air streams and aeration systems, spreading virulent allergens and microorganisms. Besides formaldehydes and other numerous irritants in the car from pet dander, food leftovers to cigarette stains, everyone in your car is breathing in bits of dust, greenhouse gases and car exhaust fumes. Hazardous hydrocarbons during hot weather conditions, as told by Anders Lofvendahl, project manager of Volvo, vaporize from plastics and fabrics. With all of these conditions, the health of your family especially those who are suffering from asthma and allergies will worsen and the surroundings can become toxic for all of you. Also, the study done in 1990 by The International Center for Technology Assessment showed that in the 23 independent methodical experiments carried out in the 1980's and 1990's, it revealed that air pollution levels in cars often reach concentrations that may endanger human health. As a matter of fact, the study continuously states that air inside vehicles contain more toxins (the likes of carbon monoxide, benzene, toluene), fine particle matter, and nitrogen oxides than ambient air as results shown in nearby monitoring stations utilized to calculate government air quality statistics.

Visualize this - polluted air enters and exits in every car and truck on the street - that air is in your car. As you are traveling, that air is what you are breathing in continuously as long as you stay inside that enclosed, impure space.

Our dog, Bear, is totally loved by us. He is a Newfoundland dog and weighs 135 pounds and is crazy about taking rides in the car. Apart from the fact that he is taking up so much space in the back seat of our tiny vehicle, the only trouble is his hair keeps falling off and his skin discards a lot of dander that stinks. Thus, instead of departing the house without him and sulking, our option was to seek out gadgets that will keep the air in our vehicle pure and safe. An air purifier that uses negative ions to get rid of impurities in the air can be plugged in your car through the cigarette lighter plug in, or placing a car air filter, or putting air freshener ionizers - these are some of the propositions. The outer opening is shut while the windows are kept up. The matter is Bear can't stick his head out!
