Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. Warns Consumers to Use Only FDA-Cleared Air Purifiers at Home and Office
Los Angeles, CA , July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Los Angeles, CA July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC MARKETS: KNOS) (“KNOS” or the “Company”), an innovation-driven product development company and creator of the patented Kronos® CORE air disinfection technology inside its advanced smart air purification devices a leading innovator in air purification technology, issues an urgent consumer warning to use only FDA-cleared air purifiers in residential and office environments. This advisory comes in response to growing concerns about the safety and effectiveness of non-FDA-cleared air purification products currently on the market.
Air quality has become a critical health issue, especially in the wake of the global pandemic and increasing pollution levels. However, not all air purifiers meet the stringent standards set by the FDA, which are designed to ensure the safety and efficacy of these devices. Using non-FDA-cleared air purifiers can pose health risks and may not provide the expected air quality improvements.
As previously announced, FDA had cleared two Models in Kronos’ Manufacturer’s Revolutionary Air Purifiers product Line.
“Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. is committed to promoting health and safety through innovative air purification solutions,” said Greg Rubin, CEO of Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. “We strongly urge consumers to verify the FDA clearance status of any air purifier they intend to use at home or in the office. Ensuring that your air purifier meets FDA standards is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment.”
Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. offers a range of FDA-cleared air purifiers designed to deliver superior air quality. Our products undergo rigorous testing to meet and exceed FDA requirements, providing peace of mind to our customers.
To assist consumers in making informed decisions, Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. provides the following tips for selecting FDA-cleared air purifiers:
1. **Check for FDA Clearance: ** Look for products that have been cleared by the FDA. This information is usually available on the product packaging or the manufacturer’s website.
2. **Research the Distributor: ** Choose air purifiers from reputable manufacturers and distributors known for their commitment to quality and safety.
3. **Read Reviews and Testimonials:** Seek feedback from other consumers to understand the real-world performance of the air purifier.
4. **Consult with Experts:** If in doubt, consult with healthcare professionals or experts in air quality to ensure you are selecting the right product.
The Model 5 and Model 8, which are our most popular models, have been rigorously tested in several credible international testing labs. Kronos® developed technology is an active filtration technology. Unlike other solutions, it generates a high voltage electric field to electrify and destroy harmful particles, collecting them on the uniquely designed, easy-to-wash collecting plates. Its 3 layers of washable filter technology equate to zero maintenance costs while eliminating up to 99.9% of harmful particles, 99.9% of PM 2.5, and 99% of chemical toxins in the air it cleans.
Traditional HEPA filter-based air filtration systems only capture larger particles such as dust or pet hair and require frequent filter changes to maintain effectiveness, drastically increasing system maintenance costs. Our technology can remove contaminants and allergens down to 14.6 nanometers (.0146 microns), which is 20 times smaller than HEPA filters – a definite market advantage.
As reported recently by CNN: A summer wave of COVID-19 has arrived in the US. COVID-19 levels have been rising in the United States for weeks as new variants drive what has become an annual summer surge. COVID-19 surveillance has been scaled back significantly since the US public health emergency ended more than a year ago — individual cases are no longer counted, and severe outcomes are based on representative samples of the population — but the data that is available is showing a consistent upward trend. Infections are probably growing in at least 38 states, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Wastewater surveillance suggests that viral activity is still relatively low, but hospitalizations and deaths are also ticking up. COVID-19 levels are especially high in the West, where viral levels are back to what they were in February, and in the South, according to the CDC. “The virus tends to replicate well and stay alive in an environment with warm and moist conditions. That fits with what we’re seeing,” said Dr. Robert Hopkins, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, a nonprofit public health organization. “The South and the West are steamy and hot right now.” The summer bump has become a familiar seasonal pattern, but experts warn that the coronavirus can still be quite unpredictable.
KNOS is committed to helping our customers, businesses, and government offices improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and provide healthier and safer air.
Unlike any other air purifier on the market, Kronos® air purifiers use patented technology to do what other purifiers can’t — destroy airborne pollutants at the size 20 times smaller than conventional Hepa filters. These devices are the only FDA-cleared purifiers that use Kronos® technology and reach 99.98% efficiency in destroying airborne pollutants.
This additional FDA clearance comes as world health agencies increasingly recognize indoor air quality as a crucial factor in overall health and well-being. The EPA – Environmental Protection Agency has reported that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, emphasizing the importance of effective air purification in homes and offices.

About Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc.
The Company was initially founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers. Eventually, the Company moved into the consumer air purification business. It began operations as a product development company that invented and significantly changed how air is moved, filtered, and sterilized. Historically, Kronos has focused on developing, marketing, and selling the Company’s proprietary air movement and purification technology. Serving the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) market, Kronos technology uses state-of-the-art high-voltage patented processes without the use of traditional porous HEPA filters. Kronos-based products move air silently, filter, sterilize, and purify the air while dramatically reducing energy consumption to half of a 60-watt light bulb.
Kronos devices can vary in shape or size and, therefore, have the potential to be scaled down for air purification in cars or scaled up in size for industrial and hazardous gas destruction. The technology is currently being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes, and vehicles of all types – to move, sterilize, and filter air, including removing allergens down to 14.6 nanometers, passing through our patented technology – replacing expensive outdated passive HEPA and other filtration-type systems. There are broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices. Examples of immediately addressable markets include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and the cabins of automobiles and commercial aircraft.
Kronos published research about the effectiveness of Kronos Patented technology on air disinfection (e.g., microorganism destruction) by demonstrating the high efficacy of Kronos® Technology-based air purifiers in capturing and destruction of various types of microorganisms (including Coronaviruses) in different environmental settings back in 2008. Results of this research showed that Electrostatic Air Filtration and Purification systems based on Kronos technology demonstrated high capturing and destruction efficiency for different types of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses, and can be successfully used for disinfection of air in real-world environmental settings, including hospital facilities both with and without the presence of people.
BusinessWeek called Kronos air purifiers “VIRUS KILLER” in 2005.
Kronos is the first publicly traded company that accepts Dogecoin as a form of payment for its products, as well as other cryptocurrencies.

The Company is an exclusive distributor and licensee of the latest generation of air purifiers based on the Company’s CORE technologies. The Company markets its products as Airdog® and KRONOS® brands. All Kronos products come with Kronos Promise ™ – Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed!
Since our inception in 2002, Kronos Advanced Technologies has been at the forefront of innovation, revolutionizing how air is moved, filtered, and sterilized. Our patented technology has been instrumental in various sectors, including indoor air quality, automotive, and healthcare.
As previously announced: Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. (OTC MARKETS: KNOS) released in 2023 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted 510(k) clearance to the company’s manufacturer, classifying its Model 5 Air Purifier as a Class II Medical Device. This clearance is a significant achievement, validating Kronos’ patented High Voltage Field air disinfection technology, proven to eliminate 99.9% of harmful airborne particles, including allergens, bacteria, fungi, and viruses like COVID-19.
With the additional FDA clearance for our flagship Model 8 product, Kronos® can now deploy its medical-grade air purification and air disinfection technology in hospitals, home healthcare settings, schools, healthcare facilities, businesses, hotels, and government agencies. This milestone underscores Kronos’ commitment to improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and providing healthier and safer air environments.
