Abstract

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for improving air quality within an enclosed space. The apparatus provides molecular sieve that preferably contains zeolite to treat the air to remove toxins such as suspended particles, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, bacteria, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds, radon and organic odour causing compounds. An apparatus having plurality fo molecular sieves able to operate sequentially is disclosed and can be incorporated into air-conditioning for fitment in new or existing installations or stand independently.
