I have serious concerns about the byproducts of using this. There have been two studies which showed that this kind of air cleaning technology specifically emits HIGHER levels of formaldehyde into the air: 2008 [...] "The researchers found that because of incomplete decomposition of the VOC's in the inlet air stream there was a net production of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formic acid and acetic acid. Of particular concern was that the outlet concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were 3.4 and 4.6 times the inlet concentrations, respectively. Both formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are recognized as important indoor toxicants. Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen." 2015 [...] "Imagine if, in an effort to clean the air more efficiently, you were involuntarily introducing chemicals more dangerous than the ones you were trying to scrub. Concordia University researchers have found that this exact situation is happening with a type of air filter called photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), a product already on the market. The chemical by-product? Formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen." I'd love to hear from the makers of Airocide about this research. It appears that PCO does break down VOCs, but it breaks them down into simpler molecules, including formaldehyde.
