Concerns about air quality are becoming more common, especially as wildfire season stretches longer each year and air pollution remains a pressing issue. Unfortunately, air pollution is not just confined to the outdoors, but there are steps you can take to protect the air quality in your home. One of the most effective ways is to use an air purifier.
Intertek operates labs all over the world and is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) by OSHA in the US. They test consumer products to be sure they’re safe electrically, physically, toxicologically, or by any other measure. Molekule sends its air purifiers to Intertek not only for required consumer safety testing, but also to gather performance data for our customers. Three rounds of Molekule Air Pro testing are available on our papers page: basic ozone testing, VOC destruction, and capture of particulate matter.
One of the most important features of Molekule Air Pro is the PECO catalyst coated onto the filter. When activated, the catalyst can destroy organic material like VOCs or infectious microbes like viruses and bacteria. Given that viral infection is on a lot of people’s minds these days, the air quality experts at Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories (ARE) devised a way to test Air Pro’s ability to decrease virus particles in the air.
