Company Summary

We clean air, and we do it very well. In 2013 the American clean air act estimated that the cost of the side effects of air pollution were $28 billion a year in California alone. We have developed, and are selling, a surface treatment, that reduces pollution by 24%. Meaning that we can substantially decrease the cost associated with bad air.

We also have products that clean inside air, killing 99.6% of bacteria and cleaning the air by 85%.
