The Science



APCO detoxes the air with a process called advanced photocatalytic oxidation. The UV light reacts with titanium dioxide infused into the carbon. This reaction effectively vaporizes the captured contaminants, leaving only harmless moisture and carbon dioxide which are released back into the air, leaving the system clean so that the carbon cells that filter the air do not fill up and don’t need to be replaced.

More about UV: The germ-killing properties of UV-C light has been well known for centuries. Microorganisms have no defense against UV-C light because light of this frequency is filtered out by the Earth's atmosphere. These light waves scramble the DNA of sometimes harmful organisms, which prevents them from reproducing. APCO effectively sterilizes microbial contaminants.

APCO is safe, effective and produces no harmful ozone.
