Carbon Test Kit Instructions

Rest assured we will make certain our units help you breathe in cleaner air but also that the materials in our units will not aggravate your Chemical Injury / MCS Symptoms.         

The kit works for most of our MCS clients. However, you may want to consult a naturopath, who can test your particular level of sensitivity with specialized techniques and equipment or with a muscle stress test.        

Your test kit includes six blends of high quality virgin activated carbon in granular form. These are the blends that have been shown to be most popular and effective for MCS customers. The goal is to determine the best carbon blend for you. Some may aggravate your condition, others may be tolerable. It is quite possible that you won’t have a reaction at all to any of the samples; however, we believe in a proactive approach to bringing you relief. We thereby recommend the following testing procedure.

6 step procedure to determine which carbon sample is best suited for you

Step 1 
Open one container. It’s important to open only one sample at a time. It does not matter which container you start with.        

Step 2 
Keep the sample at the approximate distance you would keep your air purifier (at least 12 inches away from your nose). You can, however, bring the sample closer, while inhaling 2-3 times, for a more concentrated effect. Leave the open container close to you for about 20 minutes and breathe normally. You can leave it open for a few hours if your reactions are typically slow to appear. Keep in mind that the Carbon Test Kit has traveled a distance and that there will be small traces of carbon dust. Inhaling the dust can cause a reaction.        

Step 3 
Assess your response to the carbon blend. Keep track by writing down notes. Remember, you may not react to the blend in any way. It is recommended to give each carbon sample, one at a time, a rating of 1 to 10 (1 being least offensive).        

Step 4 
Close the container. Take a break by going outside for 5 to 10 minutes before proceeding with the next sample.        

Step 5 
Repeat steps 1 to 4 until you have evaluated all six samples. Choose the blend that you tolerate best and mark it down below. If you did not have a reaction to the samples and are unsure as to which blend to choose, contact one of our Air Quality Experts (1-800-626-0664).        
Step 6 
Report back your results to one of our Air Quality Experts (1-800-626-0664). When you place your unit order, the price of the Carbon Test Kit will be deducted from the purchase price of the unit – kindly remind your contact person.

MCS Carbon Test Kit FAQ

Frequently asked questions regarding the Chemical Injury/MCS Test Kit, addressing concerns for individuals with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and their use of air purifiers.

Understanding MCS: Individuals sensitive to synthetic fragrances may not necessarily have MCS; consulting a doctor and keeping a record of reactions can help in diagnosis.
Purpose of the Test Kit: The MCS test kit helps identify which carbon blend is most tolerable for those already aware of their chemical sensitivities, but it does not diagnose MCS.
Using the Test Kit: The kit includes a six-step process for evaluating carbon samples, where users should test one sample at a time and take breaks in between.
Return Policy: The test kit is a final purchase and cannot be returned, but its cost is deducted from the air purifier purchase price.
Reactions to Carbon Blends: For those reacting to all blends, it’s recommended to adjust the distance of the samples or rely on source control for chemical exposure.
Activated Carbon Types: Both granular and pellet forms of activated carbon are effective, with AllerAir offering various blends tailored for MCS clients.
Air Purifier Setup: New air purifiers may emit odors; users are advised to run them on low settings initially and keep them at a distance to avoid reactions to emitted VOCs.
General Recommendations: Users should continue to practice source control for VOCs and consider the use of non-VOC products, even with an air purifier in place.
