The Airora Personal

A World first! - breathe safer, cleaner air wherever you go
​
Weighing less than 100 grammes, and with a six hour (extendable and rechargable) battery life, ​​​the revolutionary Airora Personal wearable air purifier is designed to help you breathe safer, cleaner air wherever you are.

Viruses, bacteria, air pollution and particulates put your health at risk wherever you are, such as commuting, travelling, walking through town, shopping or working in the office.

To help guard against infection, pollution and respiratory problems, it's critical, wherever you are, to minimise the risks from airborne contamination. Indeed, since 9 out of 10 people around the world breathe air containing high levels of contaminants, we can all benefit from a breath of fresh air!

Compact, lightweight, stylish, and versatile, Airora Personal is convenient to wear wherever there are risks to your health from infection or air pollution.

Dual-action air purification

Ionic pollution trapping

Hydroxyl Cascade
​​A micro-fan draws air into the device and the air is saturated by negative air ions. These ions attach themselves to particles of pollution, such as viruses and bacteria, dangerous ultra-fine particulates, pollens and moulds.

The negatively-charged particles are then passed over a positively-charged 'sink', which effectively traps the pollution within a disposable cartridge.

The sink is sanitised by UVC light and hydroxyls, which kill bacteria and viruses, before the cartridge is removed and replaced.
Building on technology first developed by NASA to clean the air in spacecraft, the Airora Personal uses Photocatalytic Oxidation to introduce hydroxyls (nature's natural anti-microbial air sanitiser) into the air stream.

The hydroxyls also react with the trace levels of plant oil it emits and with ozone in polluted air to produce even more hydroxyls in a continuous cleansing 'cascade'. 

This hydroxyl cascade creates an invisible, ever-present, person to person barrier against airborne infection.
Together, these ingredients clean the air within the purifier and also in the output air stream, destroying viruses and bacteria, capturing particulates and reducing the level of ozone and gaseous pollutants, creating a continuous stream of safer, cleaner air for you to breathe.​​

Why other personal air purifiers don't work

There are other personal and wearable air purifiers on the market. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some even promise to improve your mood!

However, they only use negative air ions, without pollution trapping or hydroxyl technology, and share the same major flaws:

  • When particles are cleared from the air around the device, they are attracted to positively charged local surfaces, such as walls, and the wearer's clothes and face!  This means that the pollution is not trapped and disposed of safely, and can still enter the air you breathe!
  • They only affect particles, not polluting gasses.
  • They don't kill viruses and bacteria; they just have them stick to local surfaces, including your face and clothes!
  • If an ionised particle is inhaled, it is more likely to stick to the walls of your respiratory system, increasing the chance of an infection / allergic reaction.

Only Airora Personal combines unique Ionic Pollution Trapping to remove and contain pollution, and patented Hydroxyl Cascade technology to provide continuous cleaning of the airstream, creating a supply of truly safer air for you to breathe.

Safe and effective

​Hydroxyl generation has been approved by multiple regulators as safe air cleaning technology.

​Hydroxyls - 'nature's detergent' - are created naturally in outdoor air by sunlight, water and plant oils, and continuously cascade as they decontaminate the air. Airora's Hydroxyl Cascade technology recreates this completely natural cleaning process. Airborne hydroxyls cannot enter the body and are harmless to both humans and pets.

Hydroxyls are only created naturally outside, not inside, and even outside they can be overwhelmed in highly polluted areas or close to sources of infection and pollution. 
Our developmental journey has involved the expertise of internationally renowned independent design, research and testing organisations who have rigorously tested Airora's technology and shown it to be both safe and highly effective. ​​

Our basic testing of hydroxyls was undertaken by the UK’s Public Health Agency at Porton Down, which demonstrated a 99.9999% kill rate of airborne MS-2 virus in under 5 minutes. MS-2 is used as an international standard as it is 7–10 times more difficult to kill than Coronavirus, and the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed that technologies that kill MS-2 will kill all types of virus including COVID-19.
