Step Inside: Small Business Makeover Featuring a HEPA Air Purifier
Welcome to Family Salon, a mainstay business located along Cannon Falls’ downtown Main Street district. Annette Bing has owned the full-service salon for 25-plus years; and she’s been trimming, curling, and coloring hair here for more than 30. Annette is known for her friendly and gregarious presence in this Goodhue County community located just south of the Twin Cities.
Family Salon is housed inside the iconic brick 1887 Yale Hardware building, where initially the thought of installing an indoor air filtration system via duct work may seem daunting at best. Working in historic buildings is never short on surprises as many contractors can attest to.
But, when Annette was looking for indoor air technology to help reduce and remove both airborne contaminants during the COVID-19 pandemic and odors, she turned to ISO-Aire. This low-profile recirculating unit came equipped with a HEPA filter, which helps to remove 99.99% of harmful bacteria, mold, and pollen inside her storefront.
Emerging evidence and clean indoor air advocacy from public health officials is urging leaders to invest in further research to understand how COVID-19 can be transmitted by airborne particles. One of the most important safeguards in minimizing exposure risk now is to sterilize our indoor air to remove any trace of harmful contaminants to protect one another. Microscopic particulates, such as Coronavirus particles measuring 0.12 - 0.1 microns in diameter, can penetrate the lungs and bloodstream when inhaled, posing a dire threat to human health. These are captured and eliminated inside the ISO-Aire™ unit ensuring clean, safe indoor air for all.
