A new era of protection against airborne threats
Austin Air Systems, the leading US manufacturer of medical-grade air purifiers, is pleased to announce the launch of the Immunity Machine, its most advanced air purifier, designed for those seeking maximum filtration against particulate matter, gases and chemical compounds.
The launch comes at a time of growing attention to indoor air quality. In April, environmental medicine experts Dr Anne Marie Fine and Dr Lyn Patrick of Environmental Medicine Education International (EMEI) Global presented a review of research on the possible link between airborne pollutants, such as microplastics, particulate matter, formaldehyde and benzene, and immune function.
Austin Air developed the Immunity Machine to offer the most complete filtration in its range.
A one-of-a-kind filtration
Unlike standard purifiers that focus only on dust and allergens, the Immunity Machine is designed to capture a broad spectrum of biological and chemical pollutants found in indoor air. With a brand-new 8-stage filtration system, it combines medical- and military-grade technologies to trap the broadest spectrum of pollutants in the Austin Air range.
- Microplastics: now present in indoor air, dust and drinking water, they are the subject of numerous studies on possible inflammatory and health effects.
- Particulate matter (PM2.5): produced by everyday activities such as cooking, road dust and fireplaces, it is associated in the scientific literature with effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
- Formaldehyde and benzene: often released by new building materials, furniture, carpets and household products, they are classified by IARC as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
- Dioxins and other industrial toxins: persistent substances that the World Health Organization considers among the environmental pollutants most dangerous to health.
Reducing these pollutants in the air you breathe is what the Immunity Machine was designed for.
The brand-new 8-stage filter
According to Austin Air, the Immunity Machine is the only air purifier on the market with an 8-stage filtration system. Here is how it works:
Stages 1-2: Pre-filters
Capture visible dust, pollen, pet dander and mould spores.
Stages 3-6: 4-component granular defence
Carbon, impregnated carbon, zeolite and impregnated zeolite adsorb odours, VOCs, formaldehyde, ammonia, nitrogen dioxide and more.
Stage 7: Medical-grade HEPA
Removes 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns and 99% down to 0.1 microns, including particles of a size compatible with aerosolised viruses and bacteria, allergens and microplastics.
Stage 8: HEGA carbon cloth
A tightly woven carbon cloth with an extremely high surface area, originally developed for the British military to protect against chemical warfare. It traps VOCs and harmful gases and, according to Austin Air, airborne viruses too: a 2009 study by the UK Health Protection Agency found that HEGA cloth captured and neutralised viruses measuring between 23 and 28 nanometres.
