• The EPA has ranked indoor air pollution as
a high priority public risk.
• According to the EPA, levels of indoor
pollutants can be two to five times higher
than outside.
• Most of us spend about 90% of our adult
lives indoors.
• 99% of airborne particles are smaller than
one micron (one millionth of a meter). Due
to their size, they remain airborne.
• Household dust is present even in clean
homes, and can be composed of mold
spores, bacteria, viruses, animal dander,
human skin particles, fabric fibers, dust
mites, parts of cockroaches, food particles
and other debris.
• Inexpensive filters found at local hardware
stores are only about 10% efficient for the
largest particles.
• Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) affects
more than 35 million people in the U.S.
• 50 million people in the U.S. suffer
from allergies.
• Allergic disease is the fifth leading cause
of chronic disease among all ages and the
third common chronic disease among
children under 18.
• 54% of U.S. citizens test positive for one or
more allergies.
• There are approximately 20 million asthma
sufferers in the U.S., and six million of them
are children. It’s the leading chronic illness
in children.
• A sneeze can add 100,000 droplets of
pathogen-containing moisture to the air.
• The average person inhales about 2,300
gallons of air per day.
Innovation and the
Environment
Over 100 years ago, a humble but
determined engineer solved one of
mankind’s most elusive challenges by
controlling the indoor environment. A
leading engineer of his
day, Dr. Willis Carrier would
file more than 80 patents
over the course of his
career. His genius would
enable incredible
advancements in health care,
manufacturing processes, food
preservation, art and historical
conservation, indoor comfort and
much more.
Carrier’s foresight changed the world
forever and paved the way for over a
century of once-impossible innovations.
Yet in addition to being an accomplished
inventor, he was also an avid outdoors-
man. Carrier recognized the power and
beauty of the natural environment. This
appreciation of our world and its
resources continues to guide Carrier
Corporation today. We will never rest on
our accomplishments, but instead
consistently look for ways to improve our
products, our environment and our world.
Today, as most people spend 90 percent
of their time indoors, breathing an
estimated 2,300 gallons of air daily,
Carrier offers premium solutions for
enhanced indoor air quality – the Infinity
®
air purifier and the Performance™ air
purifier. Both provide effective defense
against indoor air pollution that can
aggravate allergies, asthma and other
respiratory ailments.
*To the original owner, the Carrier Infinity air purifier and Performance air purifier are covered by a 10-year
parts limited warranty upon timely registration. The limited warranty period is five years if not registered
within 90 days of installation. Jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration
will receive the registered limited warranty. See warranty certificate at carrier.com for complete details and
restrictions. Be sure to ask your Carrier dealer about labor warranties.

How Clean is Your
Indoor Air?
IAQ Factoids – Interesting Facts You
Should (or Maybe Shouldn’t) Know…
Pollen and mold spores enter through open doors and windows. Bacteria and
viruses spread between family and friends. Fine dust particles get kicked up
from floors and furniture. And, dander and hair fall from pets. These
contaminants can make the air inside your home up to five times more
polluted than outdoor air, spreading disease or triggering allergic and
asthmatic reactions.
The patented Infinity air purifier and Performance air purifier are ideal for
homeowners with allergy concerns, those susceptible to airborne germs, such
as infants and the elderly, and those sensitive to the effects of molds, pollen,
pets and more.
Healthier Air for the Entire Home
• Carrier
®
air purifiers offer extremely
high air filtration efficiency and
patented germicidal technology so
effective they even capture and kill
airborne pathogens such as
bacteria, viruses and mold.
• These air purifiers use the same
technology trusted to protect secure
government facilities and hospital
room patients.
• Unlike many portable air cleaners,
Carrier air purifiers are silent and
can treat the air throughout your
entire home. In fact, they clean over
100 times more air than some of the
popular portable units.
• Carrier air purifiers are as convenient
as they are powerful because no
cleaning is required. Simply remove
and replace the media cartridge
periodically to maintain peak
performance.
Carrier air purifiers treat 100% of the air flowing through your home comfort
system using a unique three-step process:
How Do They Work?
Step 1: Precision point ionization charges particles as they enter the purifier.
Step 2: A specially designed, continuously charged media captures airborne
particles.
Step 3: Patented, state-of-the-art technology kills captured viruses, bacteria, and
mold and can prevent further growth of bacteria and fungi on the filter.
The Infinity air purifier is our premier air cleaning and purification solution
with patented Captures & Kills™ technology. It provides the highest tested
germicidal effectiveness with a 99% inactivation rate against
selected viruses, bacteria and fungi. At MERV 15, it achieves
the highest air cleaning efficiency of any Carrier model. The
replaceable filter can provide several months of filtration.
And, it’s available in models compatible with your Carrier
furnace or fan coil.
Independent lab testing on the Infinity air purifier
technology has shown a 99% germicidal effectiveness
(inactivation) within 24 hours for the following:
Viruses – Human influenza, common cold, avian
influenza, wild type A influenza, measles, smallpox
surrogate, and coronavirus (SARS)
Bacteria – Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium parafortuitum
(tuberculosis surrogate), Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia
marcescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus
(causes sore throat)
Fungi – Aspergillus versicolor
The Performance air purifier offers a competitively priced alternative
with similar Captures & Kills purification capabilities. It provides a high
rate of effectiveness against cold and flu viruses while filtering at an
excellent MERV 13 efficiency. The replaceable filter provides several
months of effectiveness. The Performance air purifier is also available
for use with a Carrier furnace or fan coil.
Independent lab testing on the Performance air purifier technology has
shown a 96% germicidal effectiveness (inactivation) within 24 hours for
the following:
Viruses – Human influenza and common cold
Bacteria – Streptococcus (causes sore throat)
