ODOROX® Hydroxyl Generator Technology at Work HGI Industries Inc. 2055 High Ridge Road Boynton Beach, FL 33426 Phone: (561) 735‐3701 Fax: (561) 735‐3824 www.hgiind.com Restoring the Balance® Therapeutic Products Directorate: Health Canada Date: May 8, 2013 Purpose of the meeting: To verify whether HGI’s ODOROX® hydroxyl generating technology claims fall under the TPD guidelines. As a result of multiple functionality of ODOROX® atmospheric hydroxyl equipment, other Health Canada directorates are part of this particular meeting. Agenda: • Establish what research HGI Industries Inc. 2055 High Ridge Road Boynton Beach, FL 33426 Phone: (561) 735‐3701 Fax: (561) 735‐3824 www.hgiind.com Green Technology at Work® Who is HGI Industries, Inc.? HGI Industries Inc. (HGI) has been at the forefront of high volume odor processing and air decontamination for the past decade. The company has developed, patented and manufactures the aircleaning ODOROX® technology that uniquely generates and distributes atmospheric hydroxyls. This process safely neutralizes airborne bacteria, viruses, mold and hazardous gases by converting them into innocuous by-products. HGI’s solutions have shown breakthrough performance on surfaces and through contents as well. • • Incorporated: June 2007 32,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility HGI Industries Inc. 2055 High Ridge Road Boynton Beach, FL 33426 Phone: (561) 735‐3701 Fax: (561) 735‐3824 www.hgiind.com Restoring the Balance® Why is the time right for ODOROX® Hydroxyl Generators? It has been known since the 1970’s that atmospheric hydroxyl radicals (hydroxyls) are continuously produced by the action of the sun’s radiated ultra violet light (UV) on oxygen and water vapor in our atmosphere. It was only recently that researchers determined that the hydroxyl concentration during the day was between 500,000 to 2.6 million hydroxyls in each cubic centimeter of ambient outdoor air. Hydroxyls are the main driving force behind the daytime reactions with hydrocarbons in the troposphere and decompose most natural and man-made pollutants including greenhouse gases like methane and ozone. Atmospheric hydroxyls are also proven to kill bacteria, virus, and mold because they are able to penetrate their permeable cell membranes. Atmospheric hydroxyls are a critical component of nature’s dynamic ability to provide environments that are free of pathogens and harmful chemicals.

However, hydroxyls are not produced naturally indoors. Through years of development and field testing, HGI developed a patented process that safely generates atmospheric hydroxyls that naturally "seek and destroy" odour molecules, bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold and other chemicals. The ODOROX® Atmospheric Hydroxyl Generator actually neutralizes odour and gases by breaking down their chemical bonds. This can be done with even some of the most difficult molecules, such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Ammonia (NH3). Atmospheric Hydroxyls Atmospheric Hydroxyls (-OH) are safe, naturally occurring molecules. They are created in the outdoors when the ultraviolet rays of the sun react with water vapor from the air. This is a natural process that constantly occurs in our atmosphere. Hydroxyls are the single most important agent that scrubs and cleanses our planet’s atmosphere. ODOROX® Atmospheric Hydroxyl Generators replicate a natural process The HGI ODOROX® system utilizes patented technologies that for the first time harness multiple nanometer UV wavelength frequencies. These wavelengths combined with ambient air humidity create hydroxyls, which naturally occur when ultraviolet rays from the sun come in contact with humidity. HGI’s main technology is a revolutionary device that generates “superior hydroxyls” that safely eliminate bacteria, mildew, mold, noxious gases, and odours from VOCs for use in indoor environments.

The processing chamber sanitizes airflow and produces hydroxyls (-OH). 2. The hydroxyl (-OH) molecules exit the chamber to decontaminate surfaces and contents. Processing Chamber Air is directed into the chamber where ambient humidity and multiple nanometer wavelengths and frequencies combine to create an oxidizing formula and produce hydroxyls. The quartz crystal optics are finely tuned to deodorize air flow, eradicate bacteria and other microorganisms, and produce hydroxyl molecules. The purified air is sent into the environment along with atmospheric hydroxyls to further decontaminate surfaces & contents.
