Air Purifier Distribution Program
Valley Clean Air Now proudly announces the initiative to distribute free-of-charge portable air cleaners to households in some Mon Valley Communities directly impacted by industrial pollution.
These air purifiers are designed to clean the air from the specific pollutants prevalent in our area, providing cleaner air and a better quality of life for all.
If you are living in Clairton, Glassport, Lincoln, Liberty, or Port Vue, fill out our eligibility survey to participate in the free portable air cleaner distribution program.
Benefits of Indoor Air Cleaners
1
Chemical Protection
These air purifiers equipped with activated carbon filters act as a shield against volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and harmful gases, promoting a safer indoor environment for you and your loved ones.
2
Allergy Relief
With their HEPA filters, air purifiers effectively capture and remove common allergens, such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander and mold spores.
3
Odor-Free Environment
Odors in the environment are primarily caused by VOCs and other molecules and compounds. Pollutants can be released from various sources, such as cooking, tobacco smoke, pet dander, chemicals, and industrial activities. Air cleaners, by using pre-filters, HEPA filters, and activated carbon filters, eliminate odor from the air.
2020 Clairton Air Filter Distribution Program
In July 2020, the Clairton Home Air Filter Distribution Program distributed 153 portable air cleaners to 47 Clairton homes and monitored the resulting impact on indoor air quality.
This project involved Clean Air Council, Clean Water Action, Clean Water Fund, Community Partners in Asthma Care, Cornerstone Care Inc., One PA, ROCIS, Valley Clean Air Now (VCAN) & Women for a Healthy Environment.
Our work was funded by The Heinz Endowments.
