According to the EPA, indoor air pollution is often five times worse than outside air. The occupants of our homes and offices may face significant health risks from airborne contaminants such as mold, bacteria, and odor-causing, potentially toxic, VOCs.
APCO® products feature a unique combination of UV-C light and activated carbon which achieves unmatched microbial and odor reduction (without producing any harmful ozone). This technology is particularly effective at reducing odor-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which include toxic chemical vapors like formaldehyde and toluene.
The system is installed in the central air system where they continuously remove airborne contaminants as they pass by. APCO® technology is based on a process called photocatalytic oxidation (similar to the catalytic converter on cars). Germicidal UV-C light reacts with titanium dioxide infused carbon cells; this neutralizes VOC contaminants, leaving only harmless water vapor and CO2. This process leaves the carbon cells clean so they never fill up or need to be replaced. The result is clean, odor-free air throughout the home.
