\u0027People are aware of food and focus on organic. It’s time we put as much emphasis and time into thinking about air\u0027

“Essentially, what we’re doing is making snowballs out of the particles that are too fine to be caught by regular filters,” Centner says. “Our solution is to make things bigger; this helps the filter catch more particles.”

People really should pay the same attention to what they breathe as they do to what they drink or eat, Centner says. Atmofizer devices are not designed to replace filters, but to enhance them and make them last longer. Because the air pressure produced by the devices clumps particles together, traditional filters catch larger bits of debris from the air less often. This can actually extend the life of a standard filter, Centner says, likening airflow through a filter to the flow of a river. Just as a pile of sand can block the flow of a river, billions of small particles can clog a filter and wear it out.

Air filters and purification have been discussed a lot, thanks to COVID-19. Brands such as Dyson advertise their purifiers as being developed with COVID in mind, although not specifically to filter out the virus.
