LG Electronics on Thursday announced a portable personal air purifier that looks like a regular face mask but is equipped with a battery and sensor. The PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, as the company says, will resolve the dilemma of homemade masks being of inconsistent quality and disposal masks being in short supply due to the pandemic.
The ergonomically designed 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.
