    Applications AirQ 1290 is used to enhance indoor air quality by neutralizing odors or introducing and maintaining a scent in the air or both at the same time. This is accomplished by blending ultra-low concentrations of odor neutralizers and fragrance ingredients (“Air-Treatment Agents”) into the air. In fact, AirQ 1290 is fully effective with air concentrations of Air-Treatment Agents less than 1 part per million (ppm).
