City That Never Sleeps – Nor Breathes Clean: NYC’s Pocket Air Solution

Introduction: New York’s Air Quality Dilemma
New York City is vibrant, fast-paced, and densely populated—but its air isn’t always as dynamic. Between constant vehicle traffic, construction dust, heating emissions, and occasional wildfire haze from the Midwest and Canada, NYC’s air can be a cocktail of irritants.
From Manhattan’s high-rises to Brooklyn brownstones and Queens apartments, many residents face poor indoor air quality due to aging infrastructure, sealed windows, and heavy indoor pollutant buildup. That’s where LUFT’s compact air purifiers come in—offering filterless, USB-C powered clean air solutions for urban life.
LUFT Cube – Formaldehyde Removal with Photocatalytic Technology
Formaldehyde is a harmful volatile organic compound (VOC) commonly found in our daily environments—especially from new furniture, home renovations, vehicles, textiles, and even cosmetics. These materials release formaldehyde slowly over time, contributing to indoor air pollution.
Even at low concentrations, formaldehyde has been shown to weaken the immune system and increase the risk of respiratory-related cancers with long-term exposure.
LUFT Cube was tested in a controlled environment to break down formaldehyde in the air using its proprietary photocatalytic purification technology. No filters or refills are needed. The Cube continuously decomposes VOCs, odors, bacteria, and PM2.5 particles—making it a compact yet powerful air purifier for your personal spaces.
LUFT Duo – Rapid Decomposition of Cigarette Smoke
Cigarette smoke contains more than 80 known carcinogens, and each cigarette releases PM2.5 levels as high as 918 µg/m³, which is over 26 times the recommended air quality standard.
In this test, the LUFT Duo air purifier was activated inside a sealed chamber filled with dense cigarette smoke. Within just 120 seconds, the PM2.5 concentration dropped from 999 µg/m³ to only 49 µg/m³.
LUFT Duo effectively breaks down airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, bacteria, and allergens, offering fast and compact personal air protection—especially useful in spaces where smoke or lingering smells are a concern.
LUFT Mask – Triple Defense Air Purification System
Step 1: Electrostatic Precipitation – Capture Particulate Matter
Fine and coarse particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) are commonly found in the air we breathe and may carry harmful pollutants. PM2.5 particles easily descend with gravity, making them ideal for removal using LUFT Mask’s electrostatic precipitation system. This process traps particles along the inner and outer surfaces of a metal tube, offering localized air filtration and enhanced breathing safety.
Step 2: Photocatalytic Decomposition – Neutralize Toxic Gases
Many paints and coatings contain volatile organic solvents like formaldehyde, which help them dry faster but are harmful to health and plant life. LUFT Mask uses advanced photocatalysis to break down formaldehyde by disrupting its molecular chains, effectively neutralizing it in the air.
Step 3: UV Light Sterilization – Inhibit Mold & Microbial Growth
The third line of defense involves UV light sterilization, which damages organic structures to reduce microbial activity or eliminate it entirely. This is especially important for preventing allergic reactions triggered by airborne organisms. LUFT Mask’s UV system was tested on food mold growth to demonstrate its antimicrobial effectiveness.
