EPISODE101 - Sam Teitelbaum, President AllerAir Industries

Sam Teitelbaum is President of AllerAir Industries, a company that designs and manufactures air purifiers for industrial, residential, military and medical applications.
Since 1996 when AllerAir was established, Sam has been on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of clean indoor air quality, while emphasizing the critical role of combination carbon-HEPA air filters to remove dangerous airborne chemicals, gases, odors and particles.
His initiative for cleaner air and high quality, deep-bed carbon air purifiers began almost two decades ago when his wife developed sensitivity to chemicals, and they were unable to find a viable air purifying solution.
Since then, Sam has had an integral role in the research and development of over 100 types of air purification systems, that are now providing worldwide IAQ solutions.
