How is it possible?
PCO™ technology mimics and reproduces what happens in nature, through photocatalysis, a process that, thanks to the combined action of UV rays from a light source (natural sunlight, ambient sunlight or fluorescent light) the humidity present in the air and some noble metals present in nature, generates oxidising ions and hydrogen peroxides that can destroy most toxic and polluting substances up to 0.001 microns (nanometer), thus destroying microbes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemically active compounds (CAC). The tests, carried out by American laboratories and universities, demonstrate the effectiveness of photocatalytic oxidation technology to destroy the bacterial load present in the environment. The tests were carried out over a period of 24 hours
Did you know that photocatalysis was discovered in Japan in 1969 by two professors from the University of Tokyo and has since given rise to more than 6,000 patents worldwide?

However, it remains a fairly new technology, in addition, PCO is approved by the FDA to reduce bacteria in poultry and pork processing, and is used to clean pesticides from fruits and vegetables. PCO technology is powerful, effective in all organic pollutants and completely ecological
Benefits associated with the installation of PCO technology
The benefits associated with installing dust-free modules with PCO™ technology can be summarised as follows:
- Continuous sanitisation.
- Active treatment.
- Elimination of germs, bacteria and viruses.
- Elimination of odors.
- Reduction of harmful microparticles.
- Reduction of dust groups.
- Better overall indoor air quality.
- Reduction of interventions.
Indoor Air Quality also helps us to have better health.
Here are 3 examples of this:
Protect your skin
Protecting the skin from contamination will prevent the increase in oxidative stress (chemical stress of body tissues). This stress ages the skin in many ways, including increasing inflammation, slowing down healing and causing cancer. It also damages the cells that produce collagen, which is vital for tissues to maintain their shape and strength. All these effects worsen each other and can initiate a cycle of skin problems.
Improves sleep quality
Indoor air pollution can affect our health as much as outdoor air, as it can be full of chemicals that prevent our body from functioning properly and can even cause long-term diseases. In addition, prolonged exposure to poor air quality can have long-term adverse effects on sleep quality.
Reducing air pollution in the bedroom with an air purifier is the easiest way to breathe many hours of cleaner air and reduce chemical stressors in your environment.
Improve your concentration and productivity
Better air quality means fewer pollutants and more oxygen. A better supply of oxygen to the brain improves cognitive performance, while lack of oxygen brings, among other symptoms, cognitive impairment.
In addition to the beneficial effects it exerts on cognitive capacity, better indoor air quality also improves overall health. In one study, 10 green-certified buildings were examined and it was found that employees who worked in them had approximately 30% fewer headaches and breathing problems than employees of an average office building. All this in addition to an improvement in performance of 27% in cognitive tasks. Employees even slept better at night.
