TYLER, Texas, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- A new health impact white paper conducted by scientists at Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc. (EH&E) in collaboration with professors at the Harvard School of Public Health shows that Trane CleanEffects(TM), a whole-house air cleaner, may help you prevent asthma attack, stroke, heart attack, respiratory disease and other serious illnesses as part of an overall prevention plan.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Lung Association (ALA) and the American Heart Association (AHA) all agree that exposure to fine particles impairs breathing and increases the risk of asthma attack, heart attack and other serious illnesses. According to EPA estimates, exposure to fine particles contributes to 17,000 premature deaths and more than 12,000 hospitalizations in the United States each year.

Airborne fine particles that can cause negative health issues enter your home through doors, windows or small openings in frames, walls and the roof. Particles originate from various outside sources including fossil fuel burning in vehicles, power and manufacturing plants, and fires; and inside from activities such as smoking or cooking. Due to their microscopic size, these particles are easily inhaled and deposit deep within the lungs.

"Through third-party studies, Trane CleanEffects has been proven to be the best whole-house air cleaner at removing fine particles. This is important because fine particles can cause cardiovascular health issues due to the fact that your nose and mouth cannot filter them, and they get trapped deep in your lungs. This research provides consumers with important information that may help lower the risk of cardiovascular health issues," said Mark Hagan, systems marketing manager fo
