Some developers and executives felt their throats burn. At least one employee had trouble breathing. She decided to leave. But before heading home, she stopped inside the building where Andreas Larsson and his team were testing the Pure A9, an IoT-connected air purifier built with Microsoft Azure.
…Electrolux has a smart air purifier that lets you breathe easy, even in polluted cities.
We had 10 or 15 Pure A9 air purifiers and turned them all on,” recalls Larsson, engineering director at Electrolux. “That made a significant change in air quality. We asked her to come into our office, sit down and just work there. She took some deep breaths. She was happy. She stayed for the rest of the day.”
The Pure A9 – launched March 1 in four Nordic countries plus Switzerland and, previously, in Korea – removes ultra-fine dust particles, pollutants, bacteria, allergens and bad odors from indoor rooms.
