Manufacturer Information and Description

Exposure to environmentally pollution can compromise human health. To combat the problems caused by pollution, many individuals are creating less-polluted home, school and work environments. They are also modifying their lifestyles. Commercial products needed to support this kind of less-polluted living can be hard to find. However over the past 25 years, we have worked with a number of manufacturers who are producing more natural, less- polluted products.

All the products sold by AEHF have been tested by our staff and reviewed by the medical staff of the Environmental Health Center-Dallas. The products listed in our catalog and our website store have proved to be effective and environmentally safe for most people.
