How to Avoid Secondary Pollution

3G filtration systems can effectively collect particles, gaseous contaminants and organic compounds. The collected microorganisms are destroyed daily by UV-radiation while active carbon layers absorb gaseous contaminants, thus avoiding the risk of secondary pollution.

The technology was developed by LIFAair and the Finnish national technical research center (VTT) over several years, resulting in the discovery of an extremely advanced filtration solution. The technology is finally available for consumers in the high end Air Purifier LA700's model revolutionary fresh air purifier LAF500. With unique materials and structure, 3G-filters are capable of filtering a wide range of contaminants.
