Allergy and asthma sufferers soon may have a new weapon in their fight against airborne enemies: an indoor air cleaning system that uses light and simple chemicals to destroy the dust mites and mold spores that cause many allergies. |

The system uses light, which reacts with a titanium dioxide-based chemical catalyst as air passes through. The result is oxidation, which attacks and destroys microbes by disintegrating their DNA. The reaction also kills dust mites and mold. |
