California Wildfires and Worsening Outdoor Air Quality Drive Increased Demand for Air Purifiers, Says Kronos Advanced Technologies
Company Sees Potential Surge in Air Purifier Sales as Southern California Wildfires Highlight Need for Clean Indoor Air Solutions
Los Angeles, CA , Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles, CA – January 8, 2025 – KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC MARKETS: KNOS) (“KNOS” or the “Company”), a leader in innovation-driven air purification technology, announces expedited shipping and discounts on its home, school, and small business air purifier products and graphene face masks in response to the worsening wildfire conditions in Southern California.
Wildfire Smoke Impacts Southern California Air Quality
As wildfires rage across Southern California, local municipalities are issuing air quality alerts due to the dangerous levels of smoke pollution. The American Lung Association recently ranked Los Angeles-Long Beach as the most polluted metropolitan area in the U.S. for 2024, underscoring the urgent need for effective air quality solutions.
Kronos CEO Greg Rubin commented:
“Smoke from these devastating wildfires is disrupting lives, forcing evacuations, and making air quality unbearable, especially for children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Now is the time to invest in Kronos® air purifiers and our biocompatible graphene masks to protect your family and loved ones from harmful pollutants.”
Expert Warnings on Health Risks from Wildfire Smoke
Authorities warn that wildfire smoke can severely impact public health, especially vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with asthma or heart conditions. Particulate matter (PM2.5) from wildfire smoke is particularly harmful, capable of penetrating deep into the lungs and even entering the bloodstream, increasing the risk of respiratory issues, heart attacks, and strokes.
CNN reported that the Pacific Palisades wildfire has destroyed over 1,000 structures and burned more than 5,000 acres, prompting the evacuation of 70,000 residents. With emergency services stretched to their limits, maintaining indoor air quality has become a vital concern for residents throughout Los Angeles County.

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.
The Company is planning to file additional patents to improve its existing technology as well as enter into new market segments but will continue to market air purifiers and other consumer products. 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!
