The Science of EnhanceAir™

Both harmful to human health and an indirect greenhouse gas. 

Contribute to smog and many are toxic to humans. 

The stuff that makes our ads dirty. 

Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are formed during combustion. NOx is harmful in several ways.

  • It irritates airways and increases susceptibility to allergens. 
  • It combines with other pollutants in the air to create smog, acid rain, PM2.5 and ground level ozone, which contributes to global warming. 
  • Increases risk of heart disease, stroke, COPD, and lung cancer. 
  • It has a much higher Global Warming Potential than CO2
  • NOx is an indirect greenhouse gas. It does not trap heat directly, but leads to the creation of other gases, like ozone, that are greenhouse gases. 
  • EnhanceAir fights climate change and improves human health by destroying NOx and other pollutants. 

Using a test based on the ISO 22197-1 standard, we pass a fixed amount of NOx across a treated surface where the air is in contact with the surface for only 1 second before being replaced by new polluted air. The concentration of NOx is measured as it exits the chamber.
