I worry about what his 'dungeon-like' quarters could be manifesting. That's exactly why when I was given the opportunity to try out the Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175, I didn't hesitate. And of course the first place I thought to put it was directly in my sons room.
The review required me to take air quality samples before installation as well as after installation to show the difference the Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175 can make on air quality.
Prior to setting up the Air Oasis, I placed a petri dish in the center of my sons room and let it sit for 4 days. As you can see here, after the 4th day, mold and bacteria had grown in the petri dish. Seeing that sent shivers through my body. I strive to keep a clean home, so this utterly freaked me out. Of course, when I showed it to my son he wasn't the least bit phased. Teenagers!!!
The next step was to setup the Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175 and let it do it's work. I let the air purifier and sanitizer do it's job for a full 4 days. Once it ran full-time for those 4 days, I set up another petri dish sample test to see how the quality had improved. I then let that petri dish sit for another 4 days. 
As you can see here, there was significant improvement in the air quality in the room! I was thoroughly pleased to see this. As you can imagine, I quickly advised my son to be sure that the air purifier is running all the time.
I would highly recommend the Air Angel Air Purifier. I love that it is easily portable and can be used in hotel rooms, cars and even dorms.
So, how does the Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175 actually work?
*The Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175 works by utilizing the AHPCO (advanced hydrated photocatalytic oxidation) technology developed by NASA and enhanced by our Air Oasis research and development team, including Dr. Jeff Bennert, Jon Bennert, and Dr. Nabarun Ghosh.
The AHPCO technology works by destroying germs as they pass through UV light. The light rays then react with the AHPCO catalyst to produce catalytic molecules, which seek out and destroy odor-causing carbon-based molecules. These molecules are then converted into carbon dioxide and water-replacing harmful allergens in the atmosphere with fresh, clean air.
The Air Oasis Mobile Sanifier® 175 is a small air purifier that cleans the air in areas up to 175 square feet. This makes it ideal for vehicles, utility rooms, bedrooms, offices, hotels, RVs, boats, and much more. This travel air purifier comes with a DC adapter, so it can be plugged into your mobile home, car, or truck. For those who enjoy traveling with pets, this unit is great for reducing odors and pet dander that get trapped within your vehicle.
