EnviroAir is another brainchild of inventor/entrepreneur Paul G. Begum.  Paul has had a string of notable achievements, ranging from having been the owner of a highly popular group of restaurants, a successful real-estate developer, to master-minding high-tech start-ups in the internet and retail services industries.

In the spring of 2001 Paul and his wife Yeonah, who has a PhD in Gerontology, decided to take an exciting cruise of the Caribbean . . . which unfortunately, turned out to be less than exciting with Paul getting ill from what appeared to be some type of airborne allergen.  To make matters worse, on the flight home, Paul’s condition further worsened due to the re-circulated air on the airplane. 

When they arrived home, Paul and Yeonah decided to get at the cause of what amplified Paul’s allergy symptoms.  It didn’t take long before Yeonah had unearthed an amazing body of research and commentary on a host of irritants and contagions that could be transmitted through the air.  This well-researched body of literature concluded that close proximity (increasing the number of people in a given space) and air recirculation systems are likely culprits in spreading these airborne irritants.  The list of irritants included such things as bacteria; viruses; mold spores; animal dander; fine particulates—like dust; smoke and by-products of combustion; off-gassing from plastics and synthetic materials/fabrics—from sources like carpets, drapes, and upholstery; chemicals—with common things like colognes, perfumes and cleaning substances as irritants; and a whole raft of other sources.  In short, there was no end to things that could get up your nose and give you discomfort, headaches, or allergic reactions—including other frequent travelers who either used too much “fresh scent deodorant” . . . or not enough!

Paul concluded that if he suffered while in confined, tightly-packed, recirculated air environments . . . that others must likewise be suffering.  After much thought, the problem-solver inventor was hard-at-it devising a solution that not only afforded a degree of personal protection and security never-before-available . . . but also a solution that would be permanent (reusable) and effective (unlike the cheap disposable paper masks that are virtually worthless), affordable, practical, comfortable and fashionable.  Viola’, the EnviroAir Designer Mask was born!
