Let’s say right away that it costs expensive (300 euros) and is a bit bulky (it looks like a virtual reality viewer), but what the new Airxom mask just put on sale promises is something unique: thanks to an exclusive patented solution , which combines photocatalysis and technical fabrics, this device effectively protects against atmospheric pollution (fine particles and volatile organic compounds, or Cov), from viral and infectious risks.
In practice – as declared by the manufacturer – the emission of UV rays on a catalyst would destroy viruses, bacteria and volatile organic compounds of any kind. This patented catalytic process would amplify the action of the silver and copper particles contained in the various filter media. As a result, the destruction of pathogens or pollutants from the size of the microparticles to the nanoparticles is ensured.
The effectiveness of the Airxom mask is verified by a test protocol carried out by laboratories recognized for their expertise (Virnext / virus; Conidair / bacteria; National Laboratory of Metrology and Tests / volatile organic compounds). And from the tests carried out on viruses by the Virnext laboratory in Lyon it has been shown that an efficacy of: 99.94% is reached (destruction of Sars-CoV-2); 99.99% (destruction of H1N1); 99.94% (destruction of adenovirus).
