Air Oasis is a relatively young company that has created a air purification technology called AHPCO™, which
stands for Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation. This technology uses a broad spectrum, high intensity UV
light targeted on their patent-pending quad-nano Xtreme™ quad metallic catalyst in a low-level ozone and moist
atmosphere, effectively creating an advanced oxidation of friendly oxidizers. Unlike ozone, these oxidizers
are safe, yet aggressive at killing mold, bacteria and viruses. They also effectively neutralize odors and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Once they've done their job they revert back to oxygen and hydrogen. This
technology has been successfully used in water, air, food and laundry applications.
The UV light and ozone are not new discoveries. Ozone was first discovered by Christian Friedrich Schönbein
in 1840. UV light was discovered in the 1930's. Actually, nature discovered it before; it was called the "sun".
The disinfection qualities of UV light are also not new. Hospitals have used UV light for decades in
operating rooms. Barbers were disinfecting combs in the 1950's with UV light. What is new is the enhancement of
both these natural, friendly oxidizers that make the Air Oasis line of air purifiers effective and friendly for
allergy and asthma sufferers.
