pollutants being destroyed by Molekule PECO filter element

PECO technology by Molekule—Destroys SARS-CoV-2 & more.

Proven by science

How do Molekule air purifiers work? Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that uses free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including viruses, bacteria, mold, ozone, allergens, and chemicals. By combining PECO nanotechnology with HEPA filtration and air quality sensors, Molekule air purifiers can capture particles found in smoke, while detecting and destroying organic pollutants like bacteria, viruses, chemicals, mold, allergens, and more.

Molekule’s PECO air filter destroys over 99% of SARS-CoV-2 in 1 hour.

New research shows Molekule Air Mini removed 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the air in a one-time release multiple pass test in a small chamber, PECO destroyed over 99% in a filter swatch level test in under one hour.*

These results build on past research with viral capture and destruction and demonstrate how PECO adds a layer of protection against airborne viruses.

Under the microscope

The PECO-HEPA Tri-Power filter boasts not one, but three layers of protection. It combines true HEPA 99.97% particle-capture efficiency rate with Molekule’s very own patented PECO technology that destroys organic pollutants like viruses, bacteria, mold, allergens, volatile organic compounds, chemicals, and more. The powerful, triple-layered filter is finished with a final layer of carbon filtration to reduce odors and toxic gases, delivering clean, crisp air.
