Airocide PM 2.5 Cartridge
Stage 1 is a Carbon/Permanganate Media that aids in creating a more
rapid removal of gaseous material. Used by itself; activated carbon will
saturate and reintroduce the gaseous component back into the environ-
ment. However, when used with PCO material that has 360 degree expo-
sure to a UV light source it expands capacity to remove VOCs.
Stage 2 is MERV-12 media, which removes particulate matter from the air
such as Inorganic Carbon. This is the same material that hospitals use.
Stage 3 is a fibrous material coated with our proprietary catalyst that has
approximately 270 degrees of exposure to the UV light source. We found
that given the reaction chamber geometry this maximized the surface
area and created a more efficient removal of the gaseous component of
P.M 2.5.
Stage 4 is the traditional NASA developed Airocide catalyst with ap-
proximately 90 degree exposure to the 254 nanometer UV light source.
Approximately 15 - 20% of the composition of P.M 2.5 is organic material.
This is primarily un-combusted hydrocarbons from cars, trucks, and from
smoke stacks. Typically these molecules are very stable cyclic hydrocar-
bons that are both difficult to remove from the air and very dangerous to
breathe (carcinogenic). The Airocide Catalyst has been proven effective
in disturbing the stabilizing ring structure and achieving complete oxida-
tion to Carbon Dioxide.
