Project description
A new device lets you breathe easy at home
Indoor air pollution is a major environmental health concern causing serious health effects. While air pollutants can come from outside, most are released inside the building during activities like cooking and heating. Furniture and construction materials, as well as dampness and lack of ventilation, can further increase indoor air pollution. Methods used to eliminate harmful substances from the air, including mechanical filtering, ionisation, and chemical methods, are high in energy use and usually require heavy installation. The JONIXAirPlasma project developed a unique device that combines air filtration with purification. It has a high removal rate efficiency of over 95 %, with zero chemicals used and zero residues produced. It also comes with an App and cloud-based software.
