Waiting to Inhale

-

The Honolulu air outside may be fresh-scrubbed, but the air inside my apartment is polluted: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from non-eco-friendly paint, pet dander and the occasional waft of incense smoke fill the air.

The ceiling fans are not enough to combat the persistent sources of impurity, so I tallied my options.

1. Move to Northeastern Siberia where ambient air-pollution is at a minimum.

2. Purchase a NanoBreeze.

The NanoBreeze® Room Air Purifier works on the molecular level to destroy allergens. Its patented ultraviolet technology nips airborne pathogens in the bud and restores them with harmless replacements. Named one of the top nanotechnology products of 2005, it’s stil top-of-the-line for machines of its kind.

NanoBreeze also adds a techno-chic element to your interior, with its blue-violet glowing central orb and sleek, miniature jet engine shape. It’s a handsome little piece of machinery, with a pleasing price (around $200). A sure conversation piece, it will allow you to use the term “photocatalytic” with grace and to explain to your visitors that they have entered your realm of safe, ambient ozone.
