Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to American I R Technologies Inc. (the
"Company") to render a legal opinion regarding its Form S-8 Registration
Statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
concerning its plan to issue its Common Stock, $.001 par value, to certain
consultants to the Company.

     In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate
records, agreements, instruments and documents of the Company, certificates of
public officials and of officers of the Company, and such other certificates,
documents and records, and have made such other investigations, as we have
deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter
expressed. As to questions of fact material to such opinions we have, when
relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon such certificates
of public officials and of such officers, such other certificates, documents and
records, and upon the representations of such parties. In addition, we have
assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents seen or reviewed
by us, (ii) the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, and
(iii) the conformity with the original and certified copies of all documents
submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals thereof. We have
also examined such matters of law and such additional matters of fact as we
consider necessary or appropriate in connection with the opinions hereinafter
expressed.

     Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

     1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada; and

     2. Assuming the accuracy of the documents, representations and warranties
of the Company, the offer, issuance and sale of the Common Stock of the Company
to certain consultants under the terms and provisions of a consulting agreement
dated April 26, 2001, have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be
fully paid and nonassessable.

     The opinions expressed herein are solely for your benefit in connection
with the Form S-8 Registration Statement of the Company and may not be relied
upon in any manner or for any purpose by any other person or entity without the
prior written consent of this firm.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            STEPHEN A. ZRENDA, JR., P.C.
