Test kit includes six blends of high quality granular virgin activated carbon. Blends that have been shown to be most popular and effective for MCS customers.
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.
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.

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.

Negative room pressure , a technique used in hospitals and medical centres, prevents cross-contamination by generating negative pressure in isolation rooms. This allows air to enter but prevents it from escaping, as air naturally flows from higher to lower pressure. It’s employed to isolate patients with airborne contagious diseases like influenza, measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and COVID-19.
