Why Activated Carbon is Central to
EcobreezeSmart?
Scientifically Proven and Field-Validated
Independent studies, including research from MIT, have shown that activated carbon consistently outperforms other technologies in VOC and odour removal. In field tests, Ecobreeze Smart has demonstrated the ability to eliminate over 95% of airborne odours, significantly improving air quality in spaces such as public washrooms, lobbies, and hightraffic common areas.
Purpose-Built for High-Demand Environments
Ecobreeze Smart is designed around a science-recommended two-stage filtration system:
Electrostatic Pre-Filter – A washable filter that captures dust, lint, and airborne particles, improving air quality and protecting the carbon layer. This aligns with ASHRAE Standard 145.2, which recommends pre-filtration for gas-phase media (carbon filter).
Impregnated Activated Carbon Filter – A high-grade coconut husk carbon filter as recommended by NASA, with up to 32,000 sq. ft. of surface area per gram, adsorbs VOCs, odours, and gaseous pollutants at the molecular level, without producing chemical byproduct.
Trusted in Critical Applications
The same principles behind Ecobreeze’s filtration system are used in highly controlled environments, including hospitals, industrial clean rooms, and even NASA’s spacecraft. Activated carbon is a core component of the air purification systems aboard the International Space Station, where the stakes for clean air are exceptionally high. EcoBreeze integrates this same level of technology to deliver reliable performance in demanding, high-traffic facilities.
A True Purification System, Not Just a Fragrance Dispenser EcobreezeSmart avoids masking agents and synthetic scents, instead eliminating odours and irritants at the source. A subtle fragrance is added only after purification, with any excess captured by the activated carbon filter, ensuring a clean, natural scent. This carbon filter isn’t just a design feature, it’s a science-backed choice that makes EcoBreeze Smart highly effective at removing VOCs, odours, and chemical fumes, especially in commercial and public spaces where air quality is critical.
Non-reactive and safe:
Activated carbon filters work without generating ozone or other secondary pollutants, unlike some electronic or chemical-based systems.
St. Croix Sensory Inc. – Fecal Malodor Reduction
Ecobreeze was independently tested by St. Croix Sensory, a globally respected lab accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards. Using controlled stainless steel chambers and a challenging faecal malodor stronger than typical restroom conditions, Ecobreeze was evaluated over a 4-hour period.
The results were remarkable:
-
With both carbon filter and fragrance, malodor intensity dropped by 89% within 30 minutes, and over 95% for the remainder of the test.
-
Even with a carbon filter only, Ecobreeze achieved significant reduction (10.0 to 23.4) in malodor ratings, decreased sulfur/faecal odour character, and improved hedonic tone (odour pleasantness).
-
All findings were statistically significant and conducted per ASTM E1593-13 and CSPA deodorisation efficacy protocols.

Odournet UK Ltd. –
Urine Malodor & Carbon Filter Efficacy
Odournet UK Ltd, an ISO 17025-accredited sensory consultancy, conducted a rigorous assessment of Ecobreeze’s carbon filter in isolation, with no added fragrance, in chambers simulating stale urine malodor.
The findings:
-
Odour intensity was cut almost in half, dropping from 4.4 (very strong) to 2.3 (weak to distinct) on the VDI 3882 scale.
-
Hedonic tone improved from -2.5 (very unpleasant) to -1.1 (slightly unpleasant), demonstrating a clear improvement in perceived air quality.
-
Odour concentration in treated chambers was below the limit of detection, indicating a significant and quantifiable impact from the carbon filtration alone.
-
Results showed statistically valid differences at a 95% confidence level.

Commercial spray air fresheners are widely used in offices, hotels, and retail spaces to mask unpleasant odours, but at what cost to indoor air quality and health?
This report reveals how many air fresheners emit hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, chemicals linked to cancer, respiratory issues, and neurological harm. Even “natural” or “green” options often release similar levels of toxins.
Key Insights Include:
-
The real chemical makeup of air fresheners—including “natural” ones
-
Immediate and long-term health impacts on employees, customers, and vulnerable individuals
-
The truth about synthetic vs. natural fragrances
-
Guidance from the EPA, WHO, and the American Lung Association
-
Actionable strategies to improve indoor air quality in business environments

Uncover the Truth About Ozone Air Purifiers Before You Breathe It In
Is Ozone from Air Purifiers Safe or Harmful?
Ozone-generating air purifiers are often marketed as cutting-edge solutions for neutralising indoor pollutants, bacteria, and odours, but growing scientific evidence reveals they may do more harm than good.
This expert report explores how ozone air purifiers actually function, the serious respiratory health risks they pose, and why organisations like the EPA, WHO, CDC, and CARB advise against their use in occupied indoor spaces. From ineffective pathogen removal at safe levels to the creation of toxic secondary pollutants, this guide covers it all.
Key Takeaways:
-
Ozone purifiers often exceed safe exposure levels indoors
-
Ozone can react with common indoor chemicals to produce formaldehyde and ultrafine particles
-
Children, the elderly, and people with asthma are especially vulnerable
-
Safer, proven alternatives include HEPA and activated carbon filters
-
Leading health agencies strongly discourage ozone generator use in occupied environments

From HEPA filters to EcoBreeze systems, the effectiveness and safety of air purifiers vary widely, especially when it comes to removing pollutants like PM2.5, VOCs, and odours.
This science-backed guide compares four popular air cleaning technologies, HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, ozone generators, and the EcoBreeze multi-stage system, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and impact on indoor air quality and health.
Key Insights Covered in the Report:
-
HEPA filters trap 99.97% of fine particles, but don’t remove gases or odours
-
Activated carbon filters are essential for VOC and odour removal
-
Ozone generators are hazardous and not recommended for occupied spaces
-
EcoBreeze combines a multi-stage filtration (including carbon and electrostatic) without producing ozone, providing a holistic filtration method
-
Backed by research from EPA, NASA, and WHO on air quality and health risks
