Use and Care Manual

Disclaimer
Your Molekule Air Pro’s sensor is intended be comparable to other commercially
available consumer air sensors. At sufficient concentrations, it is sensitive to all
physical particles, like dust, smoke, components of vehicle exhaust, soot, and
many other airborne substances. Internal testing has shown Molekule Air Pro’s
sensor is accurate to a factor of two or better compared to certain sensors used
in laboratories to study atmospheric composition.
The levels of particles it reports may not precisely conform to other methods of
measuring particulate matter pollution. Rather, they are intended to be a close
estimation of the particulate level in the room in which it’s currently operating.
Excessive moisture is the primary cause of inaccurate readings, as the sensor can
mistake harmless airborne water vapor for particulate matter. For more information
about the difference between the equipment used in scientific laboratories to
study the composition of the atmosphere and consumer air quality sensors,
visit this blog page (molekule.science/consumer-grade-air-quality-sensors-are-
they-good-enough/).
People who are: immunocompromised; have compromised heart or lung function;
have a history of asthma, heart disease, or any other heart and lung conditions;
children; and the elderly should always follow any action plans for asthma attacks,
heart problems, or any other health issue regardless of the particulate levels
reported by the Molekule sensor.”
The sensor in your Molekule device only detects particulate matter. All other types
of pollution are not included in the levels reported. The sensor and air purifier are
not medical devices and the information they provide is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Consult your doctor if you are
unsure what levels of particulate matter are safe for you, and visit www.airnow.gov
for more information on particulate matter and all aspects of air pollution.
As with any product, your device uses new plastics and materials in its
manufacture. We do all we can to minimize off-gassing from these materials,
including shipping each device with carbon filters to absorb smells. Despite this,
there may be a noticeable smell during the first 24-48 hours of use, which is
safe and expected. If these odors are produced by VOCs, the particulate matter
sensor in your Molekule Air Pro will be unable to detect their presence or
automatically adjust the fan speed to remove them. Nevertheless, this particular
type of off-gassing is harmless and temporary. After the initial settling period,
scents should significantly subside. At that point, your filter has reached
full effectiveness.
