Air-conditioning system:
FACTS 101
• Your home air conditioning system does NOT draw in air from the outside
hence the air you breathe is recirculated air.
• The air conditioning units harbours the most amount of bacteria and is one
of the most difficult to clean
• 90% of home owners have never cleaned the internal parts of their air
conditioners apart from washing the filters.
• Air cond service technicians only clean the physical dirt from the outside
compressor units
• Air conditioners with Ionizers are not able to purify the air coming out as
the air flowing is too fast for the ionizers to take effect
• More people fall sick from germs transmitted via air conditioning systems
than just physical contact from a contaminated surface
• Sick building syndrome is caused by air conditioning systems
Health impact
What we cannot see will do more harm than we realize. Air borne bacteria
and contaminants have caused more disease to spread via the air we
breathe in an enclosed environment like our office, schools, airplanes, cars,
homes and etc.
When the air-conditioner is switched off, the condensation that forms in the
ducting will allow bacteria to breed which consequently will have an impact
on a person’s health.
Re-circulated
air is a health
hazard

Car air conditioning systems
Many people take for granted thinking that their car air-conditioning system
is clean and almost never bother to even replace the air-cond filter. Here
are some simple facts about the car air-conditioning system:-
• The car air-conditioner has more bacteria than your house toilet!
• Most people keep the air-conditioner in their car set on recycle mode
which circulates germs
• People with children have far dirtier cars than single or couples with no
children
• Car air conditioning systems contribute to many children’s respiratory
problems
• Due to warm and humid environment in the car, bacteria and germs
breed very easily and very quickly
Common bacteria & germs
found in cars
Bactakleen has local (Chemsil, Chemlab, SIRIM) and international test report
(TUV) to prove its effectiveness in killing harmful bacteria and germs.
