LG announces global rollout of PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier

LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier uses two H13 HEPA filters similar to that employed in LG's home air purifier products, dual fans and the patented respiratory sensor for supplying clean and filtered air. The dual three-speed fans automatically speed up to assist air intake and slow down to reduce resistance while the respiratory sensor adjusts the fans by detecting the cycle and volume of the user's breath.

The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, an advanced personal air solution that was showcased at the virtual IFA 2020 event will be released globally starting this month, the company announced on Wednesday. It will be available in select markets including Asia and the Middle East.

"PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier was developed to address the growing demand worldwide for products that can improve personal hygiene at a time when it's needed most. This groundbreaking device offers a new level of portable protection, making it possible for consumers to comfortably breathe clean air on-the-go so they have one less thing to worry about," said Dan Song, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
