Molekule has launched PECOAir ($499) and PECOAir+ ($599), two air purifiers that pair a three-layer filter with a connected air monitoring platform. Both are available now at Molekule.com. The PECO-HEPA Advanced filter combines HEPA media for particles, activated carbon for gases and odours, and a UV-A-activated photocatalytic layer that breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde. Independent tests show it captures 99.97% of ultrafine smoke particles and cuts five common wildfire toxins by 75% in one hour. Users can follow indoor air quality in real time through the Molekule app. PECOAir+ adds more sensors, deeper trend data, and an LCD touchscreen. Both models come in three colours, and the filter is recommended for replacement every six months.

Visium names Jason DiBona CEO to lead Far-UVC technology expansion. September 28, 2026 Jason DiBona Visium has named Jason DiBona chief executive officer, bringing in the former CEO of indoor air quality company Molekule as the West Palm Beach-based technology company works to expand adoption of its Far-UVC systems across healthcare, commercial real estate, education and other indoor environments. DiBona succeeds co-founder John Rajchert, who has led Visium since its formation. Rajchert will remain involved as a co-founder and adviser, working with DiBona and the leadership team while supporting semiconductor research at Visium UltraLabs. The leadership transition comes as Visium seeks to move Far-UVC technology into a broader range of occupied spaces. Far-UVC uses ultraviolet light in the 200-to-230-nanometer wavelength range to inactivate airborne and surface pathogens, providing a potential approach to continuous pathogen reduction rather than relying exclusively on periodic cleaning or unoccupied-room disinfection. DiBona brings more than 25 years of experience spanning medical technology, health sciences and global business operations. Most recently, he served as CEO of Molekule, an indoor air purification technology company. Earlier in his career, DiBona held senior positions at health and technology companies, with responsibilities spanning business transformation, product commercialization and market expansion. He also serves as a commissioner on the International WELL Building Institute's Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air, which focuses on improving indoor air quality and its role in public health. "Visium has built something the world urgently needs: technology that makes healthy indoor air an invisible, everyday reality instead of an aspiration," DiBona said. "I'm honored to join this team and to help bring that mission into more of the places where people live, work, recover, and play." Visium develops Far-UVC technology designed for continuous operation in occupied environments. The company says its systems can inactivate pathogens including Influenza A, MRSA, SARS-CoV-2 and Candida auris. Unlike conventional germicidal UVC technologies, which can pose exposure risks to skin and eyes and are therefore generally subject to strict controls around human exposure, Far-UVC is being developed for use in occupied spaces within established exposure limits. Research into its efficacy, exposure parameters and long-term deployment continues as the technology moves toward broader commercial adoption. Visium currently targets healthcare facilities, commercial real estate, sports and high-performance environments. The company is also pursuing biosecurity applications in livestock and agriculture. Co-founder Matt Higgins said DiBona's experience in indoor health technology and consumer markets will be important as Visium works to commercialize the technology more broadly. "He has the rare combination of consumer experience, deep expertise in indoor health technology, and the ability to translate complex science into something people can understand and embrace," Higgins said. Beyond commercial deployment, Visium is investing in the underlying semiconductor technology used to generate Far-UVC light. Its Visium UltraLabs operation in Ithaca, New York, conducts semiconductor research focused on next-generation materials and Far-UVC light-emitting diode technology. Rajchert will remain involved with those development efforts following the CEO transition. Advances in Far-UVC LEDs could affect how the technology is integrated into buildings and other environments by influencing device size, efficiency, cost and deployment options. For DiBona, the CEO position combines his previous work in indoor air quality with Visium's approach to reducing airborne and surface pathogens at the building-infrastructure level. His appointment is effective immediately, with Visium positioning commercialization, market expansion and continued Far-UVC semiconductor development as priorities under the new leadership structure.
