How does the NanoBreeze® compare to ionic air cleaners?

Ionic air cleaners use high-voltage to charge dust particles passing through them. Enlarged particle clusters will deposit on room surfaces or collect on metal plates that need to be cleaned on a weekly basis. Many popular models are not recommended by consumers' groups for failing to clean the air and releasing potentially unhealthy levels of ozone.

Does the NanoBreeze® Air Purifier produce ozone?

The NanoBreeze® Air Purifiers produce NO OZONE unlike many other air purifiers on the market. Indoor ozone is a lung irritant that can worsen asthma, deaden sense of smell, raise sensitivity to pollen and mold, and may even cause permanent lung damage.

How does the NanoBreeze® Air Purifier work?

The active component is a patented fluorescent light tube. The inside of the tube is coated with a phosphor to produce type UVA radiation and some blue light. The outside of the tube features a fiberglass mesh where each strand is coated with a nanometer thin layer of semiconductor crystals. The air circulating over the light tube is cleaned by photocatalytic oxidation.

Is the NanoBreeze® like the other Ultraviolet air purifiers?

No! Ultraviolet or UV air purifiers use “Germicidal type UVC” radiation to kill germs by destroying their DNA. UVC radiation is hazardous to all living things. The NanoBreeze uses UVA to activate the photocatalyst embedded inside the fiberglass mesh which absorbs the ultraviolet. Using photocatalytic oxidation, the NanoBreeze® kills germs AND decomposes vapors or gases. Germicidal UVC air purifiers do not remove gases and, like ionizers, may produce dangerous levels of ambient ozone.

Is there any UV caution or advisory for the NanoBreeze®?

No! The soft blue glow from the NanoBreeze® Air Purifiers is not harmful. NanoBreeze® Air Purifiers generate NO skin or eye hazards from ultraviolet radiation, unlike some air purifiers that may use Germicidal type UVC light tubes.

Does this really use Nanotechnology or it is just part of the name?

Yes, it uses Nanotechnology. The principle behind the NanoBreeze® requires the use of semiconductor crystals that are only 40 nanometers in size.

Do the light tubes need to be replaced?

The light tube is expected to operate for one year with normal use. It is the air cleaning component of the NanoBreeze® Air Purifiers. Replacement light tubes are sold separately.

Will NanoBreeze® Car Air Purifiers fit in my car?

Any NanoBreeze® Car Air Purifier comes with adjustable clips that will attach to the grill of any dashboard vent. Both models plug into the cigarette lighter in any vehicle.

Do the NanoBreeze® Car Air Purifiers produce electromagnetic or radio interference (EMI)?

Both NanoBreeze® car products comply with automotive industry standards for “in vehicle use” electronics and produce no EMI. Ionizers especially may produce EMI.
