    Dyson upgraded the filters in its new air purifiers to capture more airborne pollutants.

    In addition to two new entry level models that use traditional carbon filters, Dyson is launching three upgraded air purifiers in the US on June 3rd featuring its “K-Carbon filter technology.”

    The filters are enriched with potassium carbonate that bonds to pollutants like nitrogen dioxide so they can capture “up to 50% more NO2 than traditional carbon filters.” The new models include a $749.99 fan, an $849.99 heater, and a $999.99 humidifier.
