New Blueair ZON Gives Consumers 24/7 Protection Against Contaminated Indoor Air

With indoor air quality containing over three times more contaminants than outside air, consumers spending eight hours or more ‘on the go’ at their office or place of work can now be assured of clean, purified air 24/7 with a new portable air purifier from Blueair, Inc.


The Blueair ZON Personal Air Purifier assures consumers, especially those with respiratory conditions, of uncontaminated filtered air within a “Personal Clean Air Zone.” Its lightweight, compact size and portability gives consumers clean air anywhere.  The ZON joins Blueair’s line of eco-friendly air purifiers available at specialty and retail stores throughout the United States and Canada and is available in various outlets worldwide. Suggested retail cost is under $100.  Whom You Know has tried this and thinks it's suitable for smaller spaces.


The new ZON Personal Air Purifier turns conventional air purifier design inside out, raises the bar for performance to a whole new level and provides consumers with their own ‘Personal Clean Air Zone’ wherever they are.  Unlike most other air purifiers that house the filter and fan in hard casing, the ZON strips away the hard casing from the filter fully exposing it to the surrounding air.  With this advanced design, the filter is cradled in a docking station along with Blueair’s patented HEPASilent™ filter to deliver clean air at a rate of 30 ft3/min into your ‘Personal Clean Air Zone.’ A variable speed control adjusts the airflow to meet personal needs.


“Our design removes the barrier from hard casing used by many other companies that have a fan to draw air into the unit and push it out again,” noted Blueair.  Standing less than 8 inches tall, the ZON Personal Air Purifier has a compact 6.3 x 4.3 x 7.5 in. design and weighs just 1.5 lbs. with the filter included, much less than other manufacturers. With the design, the ZON delivers more clean air at a faster rate than any other air cleaner its size on the market.



“The ZON concept was born from the idea that people want to breathe cleaner air wherever they are,” noted Bengt Rittri, Chairman and Founder of Blueair.  “We set out to create a portable air purifier that is highly effective, extremely compact, eco-friendly, good looking and unlike any other competitor in the market.”  Rittri added that ZON could become a consumer’s indispensable and trusty companion in providing clean, uncontaminated air. It is also ideal as a great travel companion giving you clean air wherever you go, he added.


Function is just as important as form for the ZON. As a result, ZON sets a standard that is much higher than the stated requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s voluntary ENERGY STAR program.


As with its other air purifiers, the ZON uses less packaging, lightweight material and assembles easily.  The ZON uses 100% recyclable packaging, and approximately 60% less material, 50% less packaging and requires 85% less energy than air purifiers of comparable performance. It also uses less than 5 Watts of power, no chemicals on the filter or elsewhere and no ozone is released.
