Introduction: Valley Fog Isn’t Always Just Fog
Fresno, California, located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, is surrounded by stunning farmland—but it also suffers from some of the worst air quality in the United States. The city’s basin-like geography traps pollution from agriculture, vehicles, and industry, especially during the summer and winter months.
The American Lung Association has ranked Fresno consistently among the top U.S. cities for ozone and year-round particle pollution. With long stretches of bad air days, residents often experience eye irritation, breathing difficulty, and long-term health risks—all while indoors.
LUFT’s line of filter-free, USB-C powered portable air purifiers offers an accessible solution to Fresno’s persistent pollution challenges.
Why Fresno Needs Filter-Free Help
Agricultural activity, wildfire smoke, and industrial emissions converge in Fresno’s air. Traditional HEPA filters require frequent replacement and struggle with VOCs and ultrafine particles. LUFT air purifiers use photocatalysis, electrostatic purification, and UV to break down harmful substances on a molecular level—without filters.
They’re also ultra-portable and ideal for people who live in high-pollution areas but want simple, effective protection at home, school, or on the go.
LUFT Cube – Formaldehyde Removal with Photocatalytic Technology - Compact Relief for Small Spaces (~100 ft²)
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 - Full Room Coverage with Filterless Power (~200 ft²)
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 - Smart Protection for Persistent Air Problems (~260 ft²)
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.
