Venue: Major Dallas/Fort Worth area public school district testing currently installed in almost 900 classrooms.
During 2006, Garfield Industries™ established a beta-test site within the Lewisville (Texas) Independent School District ("LISD") for the purpose of establishing the viability of the commercial PCO product line within an institutional setting. Tied to this installation, Garfield Industries™ commissioned a study through Wolf Eagle Environmental Engineering and Consultants to analyze absentee reports within the LISD, including school sites employing Garfield Industries™ equipment.
Environmental Sciences AQS - January 2002

Wolf Eagle Environmental Engineers and Consultants -September, 2006
- "Results showed a statistically significant increase in overall school attendance in both the middle schools and elementary schools with the installation of the PCO system."
GD Air Testing, Inc.-December, 2006
- Within 2 hours of introduction of device into contaminated space, level of all contaminants were reduced by 50%
- Within 24 hours, readings for nearly all contaminants were undetectable
Independent study by Trinity Clinical Research, LLC
- Over a 1 year period, chronic respiratory condition sufferers experienced self-assessed 55% reduction in symptoms and physician-assessed 67% reduction in symptoms
- 70% of patients reported decreased dependence on recovery medication
- 84% of patients (including patients formally considered regular visitors) reported no doctor visitation needed during time of study
- Average peak flow meter improved by 28% after 2 months of product use
- Trial participants raved about benefits and desired product adoption as part of chronic respiratory ailment relief
Benefits:
- Biological air contaminants are significantly reduced -- not just transferred to another media
- The PCO process cleans and disinfects the air
- Effective on microbes, endotoxins, allergens, VOCs, odors and chemical compounds
- Removes toxic organic compounds hazardous to humans
- NO toxic chemicals are used
- TiO2 is a non-toxic, naturally occurring compound found in the earth's crust
- VOCs are destroyed up to six-times more effectively than previous commercial and laboratory applications
- NO ions or ozone is generated
