Item just as described.Thanks for allowing me to purchase this item at a discounted rate in exchange for my review Not really working or doing anything with allergies I got this electronic plug-in air purifier because I was looking for something which will make the air inside my little apartment more clean. I purchased for one of my daughters to use in her room at University. She thinks it makes a big difference. Considering ordering for the whole family.

This little thing is great! We recently adopted a kitty and his room is one of our bedrooms in the upstairs of the house. Getting better cleaner sleep. It seems to work well in very small rooms. You won't even notice it doing anything in large rooms. It helps by purifying and circulating the air but it doesn't circulate a lot of... This product lasted 31 days (too late for a refund). On day 31, the purifier started making a humming sound like a bug zapper. I kind-of wanted to give this product 3 stars for the following reasons: (1) I was searching for an air purifier with a permanent filter (this one comes up with that search... I spilled some wood stain on the floor(it stinks) so I mopped it up with beach(another strong smell) An hour later I could smell none of these.On this page you will find a comparison of indoor air quality systems utilizing filterless technology based on Oxidation, Ozone and/or UV light (also see HEPA Filtration, Air Filters and Needlepoint

Ultraviolet Light and Ozone receive a lot of attention concerning indoor airBoth are nothing new. They have been used for decades in hospitals, medical applications and the food industry. This technical overview will outline each of the technologies and discuss the pros and cons of each. AHPCO is an Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation technology.air purifier for dust and hair Basically, it is a broad spectrum high intensity UV light targeted on a five-metalair cleaner server room catalyst in a low-level ozone and moist atmosphere. air purifier hair lossThis creates an advanced oxidation of friendly oxidizers, or very safe and aggressive oxidizers that revert back to oxygen and hydrogen. The AHPCOCell was developed in 2003.

The original AHPCO Cell was designed for use in a central HVAC system. This provides the fastest and most effective oxidizer distribution. and improved hydration compounds were added as a catalyst creating a totallyA 360 degree cell provided maximum exposure of the catalysts. The bulb was reworked and a HE/UV Broad Spectrum 100-3-NM bulb with a heavy duty filament was developed. This combined with a soft start ballast gave the new AHPCO Cell an unprecedented 3 year, 25,000 hour life. major improvement over the current standard 8,000-10,000 hour UV bulb life. The most important improvement was the efficacy, the new cell design created more hydro peroxides and super oxide ions and ozone levels were further reducedCountry or forest air usually contains roughly .01-.02 ppmMost people can smell ozone at .01 ppm, and .05 ppm is the federal safe limit for medical devices. The new cell also produces hydroxide ions and ozonide ions which broadened the scope of its air purification capabilities.

This technology is used exclusively in the Air This is an advanced oxidation technology that consists of a proprietary, high-intensity broad spectrum UV tube (100 300nm) in a hydrated catalyticLow-level ozone is produced in the cell, the majority of which is converted into airborne hydro peroxides and super oxide ions. is encased in a protective poly tube to prevent any glass or mercury breakage/leakage. Also, the entire assembly is encased in a protective metal cell. Chinese Government has tested and passed the AHPCO Cell for use in preventing SARS in Chinese subways. An advanced version of this technology is used in Air Oasis Air Purifiers Pros: Low cost, no maintenance (replace cell once every 3 years), easy installation, airborne hydro peroxides, super oxide ions and very low-level ozone (.01 - .02 ppm*) travels through the house providing 24-hour protection against airborne mold, bacteria, viruses, odors and VOCs. acts as a germicidal lamp and treats the air that passes by it.

ozone safety limits are .04 ppm. At .01 - .02 ppm the AHPCO Cell is not considered This system utilizes a Titanium grid as a catalyst for UV-C (254nm)Air that passes through the grid and comes in contact with the catalyst is purified by Hydroxyl Radicals that are formed on the TitaniumAlso, the UV-C light rays kill microbials that pass by them. Pros: Effective on the air that passes through the system for mold, bacteria and VOCs. Cons: Expensive, large, substantial installation, and not effective onOnly treats the air that contacts activated target surfaces as it passes through the unit. Most UV systems install a glass UV mercury bulb without protection from breakage. A broken bulb could release mercury, a potential environmental and health hazard. These are rapidly becoming very popular as an easy fix for the air conditioner coil mold problem. This is the most prevalent cause of the building mildew smell you get when you enter an air-conditioned sick building.

(254nm) lamps are basically similar to sun lamps and are typically only effective on microbials that pass by within a few inches of the lamp or areas where the light is shining directly on for extended periods of time, such as the air Pros: Low cost, easy installation, and effective on suppressing mold growth on the coil. Cons: Not effective at killing airborne mold unless numerous lamps are used only effective on the surface of the coil that is in direct light. This leaves much of the coil with no treatment. Does not provide ongoingMost UV systems install a glass UV mercury bulb withoutA broken bulb could release mercury, a potential environmental and health hazard. Minimum of two lamps must be used to cover at least one-quarter of the coil surface (the upper half of the outer coil). For one-half coverage, three to six lamps must be used. Ultraviolet lamps in the 185nm range produce low-level ozone, just as the sun does, which is very effective in odor microbial reduction and VOCs.

Pros: Low cost, easy installation, and effective on mold, smoke,The ozone gas travels through the house to provide ongoing treatment, unlike the UV-Germicidal Lamps where only the air that passes within inches of the bulb is treated. Cons: Ozone is a concern to some people. Improper systems could produce ozone levels exceeding Federal guidelines. Ozone does not work on all odorsMost UV systems install a glass UV mercury bulb without protectionA broken bulb could release mercury, a potential environmental Corona Discharge systems simulate lightning with a corona electric arc or spark. Strong ozone is produced by converting the oxygen (O2) to ozone (O3).Ozone effective on odors, bacteria, mold and some Cons: Air is 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. These units convert OxygenThey can also convert the Nitrogen to airborne Nitric Acid and Nitric Oxide, which can act as an lung irritant and results in a pungent "metallic" or "bleach-like" odor
