EnhanceAir turns any outdoor advertising media into an air purifying surface that reduces pollution and contributes to the fight against global warming.
- Transparent top coat is activated by UVA light
- No changes to installation process
- Does not affect recyclability
- Lasts for the life of most ads
The Science of EnhanceAir™
Photocatalysis
- Light energy activates the coating, turning Oxygen and Humidity into powerful cleaning agents.
- Pollutants are converted to less harmful minerals and gases.
- The coating is a catalyst, so it will continue to work for the life of most ads.
- The cleaning process happens only at the surface and repeats as polluted air circulates.
NOx
Both harmful to human health and an indirect greenhouse gas.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Contribute to smog and many are toxic to humans.
Organic Surface Grime
The stuff that makes our ads dirty.
Why NOx?
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.
Proven Laboratory and Real World Results
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.
Validated real world results in the EU’s iScape project (Improving the Smart Control of Air Pollution in Europe)
