2 Angela Solland Ryan Murphy Robyn Dear Check out our major highlights of 2022 put together by our “Year in Review Team” below! This past year continued to be a unique and challenging time for our industry and the world. RGF rose to the occasion to supply the world with UV bulbs during a shortage. RGF’s Envision complex now spans over 10 acres with more than 220,000 sq. ft. of offices, labs, R&D and factory space, plus 40,000 sq. ft. of backup manufacturing and inventory in the Tampa area, to accommodate our unparalleled growth. We also built a 6,200 sq ft Class 1+ Clean Room Lucidium UV lamp manufacturing facility. We added two new R&D labs; one for ongoing testing and the other for new product development. We started construction on a 20,000 square foot warehouse 50 miles west of our main office. This will provide a safety factor for hurricanes. Our goal is to be totally vertical wherever possible. This will enable us to maintain low cost and high quality. 2022 Year in Review Team George Waite Follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to stay up-to-date with everything going on here at RGF Environmental Group!

24 RGF® Environmental Group Initiates Research Project to Enhance Filtration and Inactivation of Radioactive Particulates Port of Palm Beach, FL (May 5, 2022) RGF® Environmental Group, Inc. is a world leader in Air Treatment Technologies. In addition to proprietary active air treatment systems for residential and commercial applications, the company manufactures FDA approved High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter systems for use in health care applications. HEPA filters are rated to remove greater than 99.97% of airborne particles that measure 0.3 microns and larger and are widely used in hospitals, schools, aircraft and commercial buildings. True HEPA filtration is widely recognized as a safe, practical and effective technology for cleaning the air. HEPA filtration technology was originally developed during the Second World War to protect scientists working on nuclear weapons. After the war, the technology was adopted by both the nuclear power industry and nuclear weapon testing and is used extensively to prevent the release of radioactive particles into the environment from nuclear power plants. RGF® originally designed, built and tested a radiation filter/neutralizer 21 years ago for a multi billionaire’s office in New York after 9/11. He was worried that a tactical nuclear attack may be next. RGF® tested the unit and installed it in his office. Thank God it has never been needed for a nuclear attack so RGF® never went into production. Obviously, things have changed in the world for the worse and a nuclear attack is of concern! Even a tactical nuclear weapon will create a radiation fallout cloud that will travel around the world with weather patterns. An RGF® research and development project has been in testing for years to combine our ETL/FDA approved state-of-theart HEPA filtration technologies that utilize our RGF® ETL approved Photohydroionization® (PHI) and Bipolar Ionization, carbon, boron, and RGF’s proprietary activated minerals for the effective filtration and inactivation of radioactive particles and gases, also ozone. This project is designed to develop devices for use in homes and commercial establishments to reduce the risks associated with radioactive fallout that may occur as a result of a natural disaster, a deliberate nuclear attack, or in some locations occur naturally. Dr. James Marsden, RGF’s Executive Director of Science and Technology, is leading the project in cooperation with the company’s engineers who have extensive nuclear weapon testing and nuclear power generation safety experience. In announcing the project, he stated that, “By combining proprietary RGF® air treatment technologies with true HEPA filtration, the risks associated with radioactive fallout can be substantially reduced in homes as well as commercial buildings.” Although this may seem premature, RGF® has always been ahead of the time throughout their 37-year history. Better to be safe and prepared than sorry. RGF® has the Microcon-X in-duct system and stand-alone floor models in limited production for field testing.
