The objective of the ECOBOND® Indoor Air Quality study was to validate that ECOBOND® OdorDefender® (EOD) substantially reduces hazards and odors from Thirdhand smoke and odors from ammonia (pet urine), significantly improving indoor air quality. The study proves that ECOBOND® OdorDefender® substantially reduced scientifically measured emissions originating from reemitted hazardous indoor air pollutants. ECOBOND® OdorDefender® provides a simple paint on solution to reducing common indoor air quality hazards, thus improving the indoor air quality.
Thirdhand smoke consists of residual tobacco smoke pollutants that 1) remain on surfaces and in dust after tobacco has been smoked, 2) are re-emitted back into the gas phase, or 3) react with oxidants
