Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) – Everyone has seen the pink bats at the Louisville Slugger Museum, but now the museum is taking pink to another area, and that is going to make some much cleaner air for people to breathe.
“Oh this is great,” Hillerich and Bradsby CEO John Hillerich said. “We've had a relationship with Susan G. Komen for the cure for four or five years now. So anything we can do to help them and also support a local, family owned company just like ours, to get the word out, to the good things they are doing along with Susan G. Komen, it's something we just love to do.”
David Koch, President of Koch Filter Corporation, said what makes these filters green is its ability to push air through without losing efficiency and saving money. The filter will be the color pink.
“It is a different kind of program from what Komen usually does because it is an industrial product,” Koch said. “So this pink filter we developed with them will be shipped to air handlers like the one here at H&B Museum.”
But how much cleaner will the air be because of the new vents?
“They remove very tiny particles,” Dr. Jim Sublett, the founder of Allergyzone, said. “Down to the sub-micron level that cause a lot of allergies and respiratory problems for people. It is important to keep your air clean and improve your indoor air quality.”
So the next deep breath you take may just be greener, cleaner and a bit more pink.
