The safety of normobaric hypoxic air, which constitutes our prevention agent, is unquestionably proven by data obtained over decades of scientific studies, which indicate amplified pulmonary absorption, boosted production of Erythropoietin Hormone (EPO) by the kidneys, stimulating generation of red blood cells (RBCs) and enhanced oxygen transportation through increased capillarization for greater oxygen delivery to the tissues and muscles. Enhanced production and rejuvenation of mitochondria (the cell hub for aerobic production) and mitochondrial enzymes, allowing more efficient use of oxygen.

Decreased average heart rate, increased production of human growth hormone and stimulation of fat metabolism. When the human body is exposed to Hypoxia it struggles to produce required amounts of oxygen.

This struggle triggers physiological adaptations geared towards enhancing the body's respiratory, cardiovascular and oxygen utilization systems more effectively.

HYPOXIC AIR (Reduced oxygen) used in prevention mode has the unique ability to create a breathable environment that prevents fire ignition from any source or origin. Fire preventative hypoxic (oxygen reduced) air environment provides an interesting new solution in fire protection. In preventive mode, the environment in a normally occupied facility is perpetually maintained at 15% by volume of oxygen, which is healthy for occupants. A volume of 15% oxygen corresponds to an altitude of 2600 meters in terms of oxygen partial pressure. When flying in a plane the oxygen volume is 16%.

An important advantage of preventive system is that it creates and constantly maintains a slightly positive barometric pressure inside a protected facility, which prevents warfare-aerosolized agent from permeating. At the same time, the intake-air can be decontaminated and filtered from aerosolized biological and chemical agents.

Surprisingly, in most applications, implementation of the RESOURCES system in a preventative mode does not require costly re-engineering of the protected space to achieve a drastic improvement in the current level of fire safety.

When the RESOURCES prevention system is installed in an environment such as a ship cargo compartment, the primary concern would be to minimize leakage of ambient air. This can be accomplished through inexpensive measures such as weather proofing and vent closure. As long as the protected area is isolated from any greater ventilation system that supplies the room with non-oxygen reduced air it will be suitable for prevention. In most applications this is simply done by closing ventilation outlets and installing an air-conditioning/heating unit dedicated to the protected environment.

Pure nitrogen is already used as a fire-suppression agent to create an inert condition in fuel tanks. Its inhibiting action is purely physical in nature (i.e. by dilution, and to some extent by heat absorption). It is also currently employed in some military aircraft, and programs are underway to retrofit civil aircraft with similar nitrogen inerting systems, however, the principle difference between nitrogen inerting and Resources fire prevention system is you can work and breathe in our atmosphere.
