Press Release Summary = Peke Safety Inc. has a new solution for airborne allergens.
The battery- powered PowerCap with its HEPA filters removes most particulate
allergens, like pollen, grass, dusts, dander and particles found inside and outside
the home.



Press Release Body = It is allergy season everywhere, outdoors and indoors. Many
people are sensitive to pollen, grass, hay, weeds, air pollution, dust, molds,
mildew, dogs, cats and dander. Allergies can cause a person real misery this time
of year.

Peke Safety Inc. introduces a new solution for removing airborne particles before
you breathe them in. The new battery-powered PowerCap from Peke Safety Inc. of
Frederick, MD. PowerCap is just like a baseball cap with a tiny blower mounted on
the brim. A small battery powers the blower, which pulls air through two hepa
filters and pumps the purified air down across the wearer's face behind a clear face
screen. The high efficiency filtration system removes most particulate allergens and
air pollution, such as pollen, grass, dusts, dander and other particles that are
found inside and outside the home.

Stanley I. Wolf M.D. a medical allergist of Bethesda, Maryland explains why people
may experience immediate benefits. "The high efficiency filters are removing the
allergens," he says, "and so people are breathing cleaner air." Dr. Wolf says that
there is a place for filtering devices. "I particularly like the PowerCap because it
is battery-powered and delivers a positive flow of filtered air. This is much better
than a cup-filter mask, which depends on the wearer breathing hard through the
filter. I don't want to force someone who is sensitive to air pollution to breathe
harder in order to breathe better," says Dr. Wolf. In addition, says the doctor,
many people have difficulty wearing a regular passive mask because the masks may not
fit well and people get hot inside the masks. PowerCap, he notes, provides good
protection from allergens and requires no extra effort on the part of the wearer.
"PowerCap can be worn for hours on end," says Dr. Wolf. "That is a real benefit for
someone who is outside on a high alert day, for example when the ragweed or pollen
count is high. Or for someone who wants to enjoy the outside but is being kept
indoors by the amount of allergens in the air outside"

PowerCap, of course, is suitable for both indoor use and outdoor use. PowerCap can
be used with replaceable flashlight batteries, providing over twenty hours of
continuous use on four C batteries. Another version uses rechargeable batteries that
are so light they are mounted on the side of the hat.
