LG Electronics "PuriCare 360 Air Purifier Certified for Ultra-Fine Dust Removal"

Models are introducing the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier, which, according to test results from the Korea Conformity Laboratories, a nationally certified testing agency, removes 99.999% of ultrafine dust particles measuring 0.01 micrometers.

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 24th that the PuriCare 360° air purifier has been recognized for removing ultrafine dust particles as small as 0.01 micrometers (㎛, 1 micrometer is one-millionth of a meter).

According to LG Electronics, the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL), a nationally accredited testing institution, recently tested the fine dust removal capability of the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier. The institute measured the removal rate of dust particles sized 0.01 micrometers among various sizes of fine dust in a 30 cubic meter (m3) laboratory according to the standards of the Korea Air Cleaning Association.

According to the test results, the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier removed approximately 99.999% of ultrafine dust within about 11 minutes. This test is significant because it not only evaluated the filter itself but also verified the fine dust removal performance of the air purifier product equipped with the filter.

The company emphasized that the various effects of the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier have been proven through multiple studies and clinical trials. Previously, in 2018, a "Health Impact Study of Air Purifiers" conducted jointly by LG Electronics and Professor Eunhee Ha’s team at Ewha Womans University Medical Center found that fine dust particles smaller than 0.1 micrometers can cause vascular and heart diseases.

Therefore, the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier, which removes ultrafine dust particles sized 0.01 micrometers, is said to help prevent vascular and heart diseases.

In clinical trials conducted in the same study, it was confirmed that using this product lowered respiratory inflammation markers and inflammation markers in the blood.

In 2018, LG Electronics also confirmed results with Professor Jungwon Park’s team at Yonsei University College of Medicine that the LG PuriCare 360° air purifier improved symptoms of allergic rhinitis and reduced the frequency of medication use.

The LG PuriCare 360° air purifier cleans larger spaces faster and more efficiently by generating strong airflow through the Clean Booster located at the top of the product, sending clean air far away. Its 360-degree design allows air intake and purification from multiple directions, reducing blind spots. The structure without corners also ensures safety for children.

Lee Gamgyu, Vice President and Head of Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “This test result once again proves the advanced performance and differentiated value of the PuriCare air purifier,” adding, “We will continue to introduce innovative products for the healthy lives of our customers.”
