/EINPresswire.com/ -- RIVIERA BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - June 06, 2017) - Cancer patients and volunteers at the American Cancer Society's Palm Beach headquarters are breathing purified air thanks to a donation by RGF Environmental Group Inc. (RGF). The company has improved the air quality at the building through the donation of eight REME HALOS® and five Guardian Air QR+ units. The 21,000 square foot three-floor building is used each year by thousands of staff, cancer patients, caregivers, volunteers and supporters.

Prior to RGF's donation, the building had a noticeable musty odor and air samples from seven indoor locations throughout the space tested positive for bacteria and mold. To eliminate the problem, RGF donated and installed the units into the building's 13 air handlers. The air handlers throughout the building were primarily 2-5 ton residential units located in the ceiling with CFM ranging from 800-2000. The Guardian Air QR+ was installed on the smaller units and the REME HALO® on the larger units. The entire air-conditioned space was treated, including the lobby, conference room, computer server room, occupied and unoccupied office areas, storage areas and walkways.

Two months after installation, air samples were tested from the same seven indoor locations throughout the space. Mold was reduced by 100%, and bacteria was reduced by 67%. The musty odor was completely gone.

"Our building has a fresher, cleaner feel than ever before. The significant reduction in particulate, mold, microbes and VOCs has greatly improved the environment for our valued staff, volunteers and cancer patients" said Chris Snyder, American Cancer Society Florida's Director of Estate and Gift Planning.

RGF's patented PHI-Cell® technology, tested and validated by third party independent labs and universities, proactively reduces bacteria, mold and viruses in the air and on surfaces by 99%, while also decreasing odors, smoke and VOCs. In addition, through bi-polar ionization, the REME-HALO^® has the added benefit of reducing airborne dust and particles.
