Airetrex targets
Virus
SIZE
5–300 nm
DESCRIPTION
Viruses are little more than strands of DNA or RNA encased within a protein shell. Their only functions are to infect living cells, produce more viruses and destroy their host cell in the process.
COMMON VARIETIES
Influenza
Norovirus
Rhinovirus
RSVM
COMMONLY FOUND
Everywhere
Bacteria
SIZE
550–1000 nm
DESCRIPTION
Bacteria are simple, single-celled organisms that come in various shapes and sizes. Though many bacteria are beneficial to humans, some cause considerable harm as they reproduce and overwhelm bodily defenses.
COMMON VARIETIES
Salmonella
Listeria
E. coli
Clostridium botulinum
COMMONLY FOUND

Pollen
SIZE
1000–1200 nm
DESCRIPTION
Pollen is reproductive plant material that has been released into the air. It often triggers the same bodily defenses as a virus or bacteria, which cause irritation of the skin, eyes or nose.
COMMON VARIETIES
Grass pollen
Tree pollen
Weed pollen
COMMONLY FOUND
In exterior spaces
Mold
SIZE
300–4000 nm
DESCRIPTION
Mold is a fungus that thrives in moist, nutrient-rich environments. All air contains a small amount of mold spores, but breathing them in higher quantities can trigger allergies and respiratory issues.
COMMON VARIETIES
Acremonium
Aspergillus
Cladosporium
S. chartarum
COMMONLY FOUND
On foods & walls
Mildew
SIZE
300–4000 nm
DESCRIPTION
Mildew is a fungus that grows on flat surfaces and can be dislodged extremely easily into the air. As with mold, breathing a large amount of mildew spores can trigger allergies and respiratory issues.
COMMON VARIETIES
Powdery mildew
Downy mildew
COMMONLY FOUND
On plants & damp surfaces
Odor
SIZE
< 10 nm
DESCRIPTION
Odors are chemical compounds that we perceive through smell. Some odors are just a nuisance, but our brains have adapted to react strongly to certain odors—often produced by things that are harmful to ingest.
