The Tesla Of Air Purifiers: An Interview With Molekule CEO Jaya Rao

The roaring wildfires in Oregon burned more than one million acres in September of 2020. According to most outlets the air quality in Portland was hazardously the worst on the planet. We consulted with HVAC specialists about keeping the highest quality air in our home while hopeful the fires would subside.

The EPA states that the effects of smoke from wildfires can range from eye and respiratory tract irritation to more serious disorders like exacerbation of asthma and heart failure. I kept my Albuterol within reach while my wife was suffering from headaches for nearly a week.

We discovered a device called Molekule that’s technically in the air purification category – but we call it our pollutant destroyer. Unlike the traditional purifiers, it uses what they’ve coined PECO technology (Photo Electrochemical Oxidation) to destroy organic pollutants like VOCs, viruses, and bacteria at the molecular level.
