"Independent third-party test results have shown our patented agglomeration technology is decreasing the particle counts in the ultrafine nanoscopic range of 0.017 microns to .122 microns by 44% at a rate of 1.4 liters per minute", said
"Nanoparticles are very dangerous; they are so small that they can enter the human bloodstream directly through the lungs – and often prove to be the most elusive airborne matter for filters and sanitation devices to mitigate. So, while the industry seems to have reached its limitations trying to catch and kill the small particles, we are making those particles bigger so that conventional filters and UV systems can perform better against what we believe health science shows are the most hazardous," said Pepper.
"We have delivered nearly 2,000 ultrafine particle agglomeration engines over the last few months, to device manufacturers in both
"Most air quality meters used by consumer and commercial operators measures PM 2.5 to PM 10; those sensors are relatively low-cost (as low as under
"I came from a commercial background, rather than a scientific one, and I did not know what a nanoparticle even was – and much less why I should care. Once I learned a little about why particle size matters, it became so obvious why the filtration paradigm needed to change; everyone feels too comfortably focused on the wrong things. Sure, I watched what I ate and drank and wore a mask when I was told I was supposed to, but I never really understood how airborne viruses could elude filters and masks, why a mask might do or not do this and that, and that I literally needed to become more aware of what I breathed into my lungs, which is hard because you can't see or sense some of the worst hazards in the air. The coronavirus pandemic brought that to light, but ultrafine pollution and smoke, not to mention all the other nano-scale airborne viruses and bacteria, kill way more people every year than COVID-19. One of the most obvious things I realized was I would wear a mask onboard a well-filtered aircraft and yet I would go change the air filters and stick my head close to the contaminated, filthy filter media with concentrated particles clumped on it that broke loose into the air when I pulled the filter out of its bracket, mask-less without a second thought – very bad idea! Crazy, right? But I bet you 99% of the people out there do the same thing," said Pepper.

Atmofizing air refers to the process of using ultrasonic acoustic waves to agglomerate (cluster together) small particles into a larger target that is then radiated by ultraviolet light to neutralize their harmful properties, making the air you breath less hazardous to your health. Using units that atmofize air in tandem with HEPA filters can make the HEPA filters work more efficiently, enable the use of a less-powerful filter and result in a cleaner and longer-lasting filter that reduces operating costs and is less of a health hazard to clean or replace.
