UV Flu Technologies to Spearhead Initiatives Aimed at Medical Marijuana Air Problems


(eTeligis.com Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) UV Flu Technologies, Inc.(OTCQB: UVFT)(OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company") announced today that Company is planning marketing initiatives for its line of FDA Cleared air purifier products. The company is focused on selling itsRXAirLine to growers and dispensaries for in-house use and distribution through the dispensaries to consumers of the companies UV-400 unit. The company hopes this will help offset the serious Indoor Air Quality Risks associated with the burgeoning markets for medical and legalized marijuana.



  "The health impacts related to the smoking of marijuana are many times that of ordinary tobacco, sometimes up to 100 times as damaging," said Jack Lennon, Founder and head of New Product Development for UV Flu, "with the equivalent of 3 cannabis cigarettes per day causing the same amount of damage to the lungs as an entire pack of cigarettes, we feel this is a product that can help consumers."   "Ironically, although we have soldViraTechUv-400 air purifiers to companies in the sector, and continue to receive numerous inquiries, the sales have been primarily for the devices ability to remove smoke and odors, while also providing purified air for greenhouses. Air passing through our patented kill chamber exits almost free of impurities, as well as odors, but the catalytic reaction also produces trace amounts of pure water vapor and CO2, elements known to promote plant growth. Our concerns have always been with the higher risk of cancer, respiratory issues and miscarriage, all associated with the direct or second-hand smoke from marijuana sold today, which can be up to 15 times stronger than the drug smoked in the 1960's," said Mr. Lennon. "But we now feel with the unprecedented growth in the sector, we can market to the growers, dispensaries, as well as the consumers, and in the process, help all involved, including adjoining renters who become impacted by the smoke and odors."   "As a veterinarian, particularly one that uses and recommends theViraTechUV-400 for her clients, the impact of pet owners smoking these new types of marijuana can be particularly acute for both pets and small children," said Dr. BarbaraBodolosky, principal of the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County. "Both pets and small children occupy the space 2 feet above floor level, where the air can be up to 10 times dirtier than that close to the ceiling. The combustion involved with smoking marijuana is much less efficient than cigarettes, causing a much higher concentration of carcinogens sinking to floor levels."   "We have found that the UV-400 disinfects a typical room within 30 minutes, and animals seem to migrate to rooms where the air purifier is operating. Dogs can exhibit cancer and health issues just like humans, and they can sense areas with clean air to breathe," saidDrBodolosky.

  "Our Company prides itself on trying to educate the public to the constant introduction of new health risks associated to Indoor Air pollution," said Michael Ross, President of UV Flu. "Through our website, and shows we are attending, such as the AAHA Show in Nashville from March 20-22, with thousands of veterinarians and kennel owners attending, and the Med Trade Show in Las Vegas, being held from March 10-12th, with thousands of medical professional attending, we attempt to get the word out. Indoor Air Pollution is the 'Smoking Gun' of many of the health problems we're experiencing today, and UV Flu plans on being at forefront of stopping the spread of airborne sickness and toxins," said Mr. Ross.
