To summarize what is in your air, we have developed a single Air Score that combines VOC and PM readings from the sensor suite in Air Pro. It follows the same basic scheme as the EPA's AQI but with four levels. 0 to 100 is green and below recommended exposure levels.

After many months of research and interaction with the FDA, Molekule Air Mini, Air Mini+, Air Pro and Air Pro RX have received FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II medical device.

Molekule PECO-Filters remove viruses like coronavirus and flu strains from the air too, but they also inactivate them by up to 99.99% in a single pass. (You can read more about how Molekule destroys airborne viruses here, and keep in mind that no air purifier can totally prevent transmission of a virus.)

Molekule products consist of ozone-free air purifiers. PECO uses a photocatalyst. Traditionally, many photocatalysts were activated by UV-C light, which can produce ozone. Molekule devices contain UV-A light, also known as “blacklight,” that is proven not to produce ozone.

How do Molekule air purifiers work? The Molekule family of air purifiers uses filtration and ultraviolet (UV) radiation to capture and destroy viruses and bacteria in the air. They accomplish this via a low-energy ultraviolet light and two different filters.

Air purifiers can filter out a range of particles from your air, from visible impurities like pet hair to microscopic pollutants such as viruses and mold spores. Certain purifiers may excel at targeting a particular air quality issue, such as allergens like pollen and dust, smoke particles, or pet dander.

Exposure to ozone may cause headaches, coughing, dry throat, shortness of breath, a heavy feeling in chest, and fluid in the lungs. Higher levels of exposure can lead to more severe symptoms. Chronic exposure may lead to asthma. Workers may be harmed from exposure to ozone.

Yes. If you would like to enjoy improved air quality, then running your air purifier during the night is highly recommended. Pollutants and allergens are still around during the night time, so filtering them out of your air on a continuous basis is ideal.

Portable air purifiers are good for helping air out your home, reducing or increasing humidity, limiting access to air pollution, and generally keeping your home air clean. However, you need to get the right purifier for your needs.

Molekule is a science and technology company headquartered in San Francisco. It designs and manufactures air purifiers that use photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO), a technology that the company claims may be useful against chemicals, microbes, allergens, and other forms of air pollution.
