AIRFREE AIR CLEANERS: Great for Chemically Sensitive People
This product is excellent for children's room or for anyone who is chemically sensitive or allergic to ozone because it works based on a totally natural process: heat. Inside Airfree®'s patented ceramic core 99.99% of all microorganisms are burned at temperatures around 400F, which is done without significant heat contribution to the room. Airfree® doesn't employ chemical or toxic products such as glass filter fibers, triclosan-coated paper or any kind of material that can be harmful to the environment when wasted. Nor does it produce ozone, VOCs, nitrous oxide or nitric acid. Airfree®'s breakthrough technology provides silent, effective operation, safely destroying 99.99% of all microorganisms that pass through it.

AIR OASIS AIR PURIFIERS: Breathe Easier by Eliminating Airborne Pollutants
This is the most advanced technology we could find. It's based on AHPCO technology™, the latest advancement in hydrated photocatalytic oxidation technology. Air Oasis's high-performance, yet safe and energy efficient air purifiers, not only produce passive negative ions to energize the air and clean it of particulate matter like dust mites, pet dander and pollen, they’ll even destroy microbials like mold, germs, viruses and bacteria and get rid of odors (cigarette, food, body, etc.), gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemical fumes like benzene and formaldehyde that constantly escape from construction, carpets, upholstery, drapes, cleaning materials, dry cleaning and more. And best of all, they are nearly maintenance free, requiring only a cell replacement every 25,000 hours (once nearly every 3 years).
