Page 4: About Air/Q ™ 565
The Air/Q 565 is the greenest, most eco-friendly way to introduce scent into an interior space with no negative impact on indoor air quality. This is not an accident.
Page 5: Applications
Air/Q 565 computer-controlled delivery system. Ambient Scenting Ambient Scenting is the use of the Air/Q 565 to enhance the ambience of a space- with a uniformly distributed favorite fragrance. The Air/Q 565 serves as a cost-effective and eco-friendly replacement for wall plug- ins, aerosols, soot-producing scented candles, and other low-performance means of introducing scent in a space.
Page 6 One of the most challenging problems in indoor air quality is bad odors. Bad- smelling places have a negative emotional impact on everyone in the space and give a bad impression of the perceived cleanliness of the space. All Air/Q 565 scents contain odor neutralizing ingredients.
