Abstract
An air decontamination device comprising an air stream generator (), a non-thermal plasma filter (), an ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitting device (), an ozone catalysing device (), and a hydrocarbon emitter (). The air stream generator () generates and directs an air stream through or across the non-thermal plasma filter (), the UV radiation emitting device (), the ozone catalysing device (), and the hydrocarbon emitter (). The plasma filter () produces free radicals by which contaminants in the air stream are nuetralised. The UV radiation emitting device () breaks down ozone in the air stream, catalysed by the ozone catalysing device (). The hydrocarbon emitter () discharges an aromatic hydrocarbon into the air stream to preferentially react with residual ozone so that the air stream becomes suitable for human exposure. A method is also provided.
