H₂O₂ Purification
In the search for healthier indoor environments, Airea brings proven science to everyday spaces with an innovative approach that goes beyond traditional filter-based systems. While hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) technology has been trusted for decades in industrial and medical settings, Airea is pioneering its application in a compact form designed for continuous use in homes and offices—providing hospital grade protection with the push of a button. No bulky equipment, expensive set up, or frequent maintenance required. But what exactly is it, and how does it work?
Understanding H₂O₂: Nature’s Disinfectant
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a simple yet powerful molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. Found naturally in Earth's atmosphere and produced by our own immune systems, H₂O₂ is nature's preferred cleaning agent.
H₂O₂ works through oxidation—breaking down harmful contaminants at the molecular level and safely reverting to water and oxygen when its work is done. This process effectively neutralizes bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without leaving toxic residues.
How H₂O₂ Air Purifiers Work
Unlike traditional air purifiers that rely on filters to capture pollutants, H₂O₂ air purifiers actively generate and release microscopic hydrogen peroxide molecules into the air. These purifiers use a specialized catalyst and UV light to transform humidity in the air into stable, low concentrations of H₂O₂, which then disperse throughout the room. This purification technology isn't vaporized liquid H₂O₂ or concentrated chemical treatment—it's a controlled replication of nature's own atmospheric purification process.
Here's how our process works:
- Photocatalytic Activation: Our patented technology uses UV-C light to activate a specialized catalyst surface inside the Airea device
- Natural Conversion: This process combines ambient oxygen and water molecules from humidity in the air, creating stabilized H₂O₂ molecules
- Controlled Dispersion: These H₂O₂ molecules are dispersed at safe, natural concentrations throughout your space
- Active Neutralization: The molecules actively seek out and neutralize contaminants in both air and on surfaces through precise oxidation chemistry
- Safe Breakdown: After neutralizing threats, the H₂O₂ safely breaks down into water and oxygen
Why Choose H₂O₂ Over Traditional Filters?
-
Proactive vs. Reactive: Traditional purifiers wait for air to pass through filters. Airea's H₂O₂ molecules actively travel throughout your space, reaching areas conventional purifiers can't touch.
-
Complete Coverage: While filters only clean air that passes through the machine, dry H₂O₂ molecules neutralize contaminants on surfaces like countertops, doorknobs, and textiles—providing comprehensive protection.
-
Filter-Free Convenience: No filter replacements, no declining performance, no maintenance headaches.
-
Safety: At 10-20ppb concentrations, our H₂O₂ output is 50 times below OSHA safety limits and matches natural outdoor levels—safe for continuous use around people, pets, and plants.
- Whisper-Quiet Operation: At less than 20dB, Airea works silently in the background without disrupting your environment.
Is It Effective?
Yes—when designed and tested properly, H₂O₂ purification systems have been shown in lab environments to reduce up to 99.9% of certain airborne viruses, bacteria, and molds. The same molecule trusted in medical-grade sterilization is now accessible for your home, office, or wellness space.
The Bottom Line
H₂O₂ air purification represents a smarter, more holistic approach to indoor air and surface hygiene. Instead of relying on filters to capture contaminants after the fact, it proactively sends nature’s own cleaning molecule into your environment. The result? Cleaner air. Safer surfaces. And peace of mind.
Whether you’re concerned about viruses and bacteria, or simply want a healthier home, H₂O₂ air purification could be the game-changing solution you didn’t know existed.
