We have covered artificial contaminants like volatile organic compounds and the hazards of kitchen air, as well as natural airborne substances like mold and dust mites. However, there is another very common natural indoor air pollutant that may not come so easily to mind: radon — a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can rise from soil into occupied spaces. Like many other purifiers, Molekule air purifiers are designed to capture particles in the air, and its PECO technology adds another layer of protection by oxidizing airborne pollutants. Unfortunately, air purifiers, regardless of their brand or technology, are not effective at protecting against radon in indoor spaces due to radon’s natural, inherent properties. So what, exactly, is it about radon that prevents its removal from the air? We will take a closer look at this natural
