What improvements did this air purification system actually make at the renovation site?

During the renovation of a municipal hospital, construction workers reported a strong odor from the interior decoration, particularly a high level of formaldehyde , which negatively impacted air quality and work comfort during extended periods of operation. To improve the situation, we implemented a MoAir air purification system in the construction area and recorded changes in air quality before and after the system's implementation through actual measurements.

Before implementation: Actual air conditions at the construction site (air inlet)

Before the equipment was installed, the following air (inlet) data were measured at the construction site:

PM2.5: 36 μg/m³
TVOC: 0.745 mg/m³
HCHO (formaldehyde): 0.009 mg/m³
AQI: Fine

Although the particulate matter has not yet reached a high-risk level, the TVOC concentration is high , which is highly consistent with the "pungent renovation smell" subjectively perceived by the people on site.

After installation: Air processed by the MoAir system (outlet)

After the equipment is running stably, the air quality measured at the air outlet is as follows:

PM2.5: 9 μg/m³ (reduced by approximately 75%)
TVOC: 0.210 mg/m³ (reduced by approximately 72%)
HCHO (formaldehyde): 0.009 mg/m³
AQI: Very Good

Data shows that TVOC and PM2.5 decreased significantly in tandem , which is consistent with the feedback from construction workers that "the odor has been significantly improved."

Why is such improvement important?

During the renovation and construction phase, what truly affects the feeling of fresh air and poses health risks is often not dust itself, but rather:

TVOC from board materials, coatings and adhesives
Small molecules, easy to leave residues, and strong olfactory sensation.
Ordinary ventilation or small equipment is difficult to effectively handle in a short time.

This test shows that, through high airflow circulation combined with a multi-filtration design , TVOC concentration can be reduced immediately during construction, so that air quality improvement does not have to wait until after completion.

This on-site test at a municipal hospital renovation site proves that:

Moving air quality management forward to the construction phase is a crucial step in improving the quality of the construction environment, reducing risks during subsequent use, and implementing sustainability and occupational safety management.

Based on actual data and on-site feedback, the MoAir air purification system has demonstrated clear and verifiable effectiveness in reducing TVOC and formaldehyde odor during renovations .
