PALO ALTO, Calif., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan's

recent

analysis of the North American Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) markets

selected Pure

Air Control Services, Inc. (Pure Air) as the recipient of the 2006

Product

Differentiation Innovation Award. The company earned this

recognition for

distinguishing its product offerings and services based on a

strategy that

anticipated the importance of IAQ concerns and the impact of its

constituents

on the indoor environment.

Each year, this Award is presented to a company that has the

ability to

develop and/or advance products with more innovative capabilities

than

competing vendors and products. This Award recognizes the company's

successful adoption of new or existing technology that has become a

part of

its well-designed product family. Such innovation is expected to

significantly contribute to the industry in terms of product

performance and

degree/rate of technical change. Pure Air Control Services has

revolutionized

the IEQ industry by providing professional turn-key services to

clients

nationally through its family of IEQ services: Building Health Check,

Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDLab), and Building

Remediation

Sciences (BRS).

Pure Air is known for providing accurate and comprehensive

results

obtained through an extensive interdisciplinary team of industrial

hygienists,

building scientists, microbiologists, engineers, and medical

professionals. It

is one of very few companies that utilizes its laboratories and

multidisciplinary capabilities to focus strictly on IAQ.

" Pure Air's avoidance procedures take into account in-house

protective and

mitigation measures that have a marked therapeutic effect to

occupants, " says

Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Moreno. " For instance, when

evaluating an occupant complaint involving coughing or sneezing,

Pure Air can

determine the potential cause effect relationships. "

Pure Air's solutions then assess the extent of contamination

that exists

in homes and businesses. The evaluation provides consumers with an

understanding of what conditions are considered 'normal' for

establishing a

base line.

The results highlight any discrepancies found within

the 'normal' indoor

environment, aiding effective remediation by pinpointing the exact

areas that

need improvement. Providing a remediation plan to eliminate

existing as well

as possible IAQ issues is critical to Pure Air's total solution

approach. The

company develops, designs, and assists in the implementation of

protocols

established to eliminate the causes of poor IAQ.

" Pure Air's remediation division, Building Remediation Sciences,

uses

state-of-the-art mold remediation equipment, HEPA filter cleaning

components

and technology along with proprietary cleaning methods, " notes

Moreno. " The

company's scientists also employ the of use Environmental Cryogenics

Technology -- designed to avoid damage to buildings -- in order to

clean hard

surfaces and treat mold-contaminated wood, dry wall, and other

building

materials. "

Pure Air also offers a Building Health Check developed for end

users with

tight budgets to provide less expensive, basic, second-tier level

evaluations.

As a result of the successful outcome of its Building Health

Check

services, Pure Air now licenses through fractional franchises, and

trains

other companies to provide effective evaluations. It also offers

evalu-aire

screen test kits where air and surface samples as well as

temperature and

humidity data logging is provided.

Insurance companies are increasingly faced with the issue of

environmental

mold and its related costs. Many of these companies already

contract Pure Air

Control Services to assess clients' particular situations. The

company

evaluates all relevant environmental parameters, develops

environmental

project specifications, manages dehumidification efforts, and

provides

recommendations to remediate any deficiencies that may adversely

affect

individual IAQ.

" Pure Air is in constant contact with various local, state and

federal

governmental agencies to render opinions and assist in developing

indoor air

quality testing, laboratory analysis and remediation plans for

particular

state programs, " remarks Moreno. " The company is heavily involved in

education and client training for schools, insurance companies, and

a variety

of businesses, as well as governmental bodies.
