Molekule Expands Internationally, Bringing World’s First Pollutant-Destroying Air Purifier to Canada to Meet High Demand

Molekule, the company behind the fundamentally new air purifier that actually destroys pollutants, today opens pre-orders in Canada, a move that marks Molekule’s first international sales expansion. The company started an email list for interested Canadian customers two months ago and has seen seven times more demand for the device than it did during its U.S. pre-sales launch. So clean air is clearly a priority for Canadians!
 
In a first step to meeting this demand, Molekule is offering customers the chance to pre-order a device at a special introductory price of $999 (CAD), after which the price will then increase to $1199 (CAD). The corresponding filter subscription will cost $189 CAD a year and all pre-ordered devices will be shipping this summer. To order yours now visit:  https://molekule.com/ca 
 
With air quality becoming a growing concern in Canada, and allergy season right around the corner, Molekule’s introduction to the market is timely. Health Canada estimates that air pollution contributes to 14,400 deaths per year, and this number is only growing with increasing industrialization and climate change. For the 20 percent of Canadians suffering from allergies, this can be especially debilitating. Air pollution has also been shown to worsen asthma, which affects 3 million people and is the third most common chronic disease in the nation.
 
What most people don’t realize is that indoor air pollution can often be just as bad -- if not worse -- than outdoor air. In fact, deodorants, paint, and other products we keep inside our homes can emit the same levels of air pollution in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as motor vehicles. In light of this disturbing truth about indoor air, Molekule’s unique solution will be servicing an enormous need in the country.
 
Developed over a 20 year period by renowned renewable energy scientist Dr. Yogi Goswami, Molekule uses patented nanotechnology that completely destroys indoor air pollutants -- including those 1000x smaller than what HEPA filters are designed to trap. This makes Molekule the only air purifier scientifically proven to eliminate the full spectrum of indoor pollutants, including those that cause allergy symptoms and exacerbate asthma.
 
Even the most premium, HEPA-certified air filters can only collect particulates, and allow allergy-exacerbating pollutants like mold to live and even multiply on the filter, making the initial problem worse. Instead of just trying to collect pollutants, Molekule’s patented Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology is fundamentally different in that it breaks them down at the molecular level, leaving nothing but clean healthy indoor air.
 
“Air quality decline isn’t limited to any one area -- it’s a global issue. At Molekule, we’re determined to bring clean air to all corners of the earth,” said Dilip Goswami, co-founder and CEO of Molekule. “From my own experience suffering from severe asthma and allergies as a child, I know firsthand how poor air quality can exacerbate respiratory health conditions. Molekule’s technology has drastically improved my quality of life, and I’m excited to bring that same technology to Canada, where we’ve already seen an enthusiastic response to our pre-sale orders.”
 
Molekule has produced several white papers that prove its efficacy, and third-party laboratories like the University of Minnesota and the Aerosol Research Engineering Laboratory (ARE Labs) have extensively tested and verified the technology. Molekule has also completed a review of its IRB approved, 49-person pilot clinical trial program, which included people with severe nasal and ocular allergy symptoms. The findings of that study showed that allergy sufferers experienced dramatic, statistically significant (p-value less than 0.0001), sustained symptom reduction within a week of use. These results were presented at the ACAAI Annual Conference 2017.
 
Launched to consumers in July 2017 after raising USD 10.1M in Series A funding, Molekule was named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2017.
