Cleaner Kitchen Air Starts Here
PureCycle PlasmaFilter
01
The Hidden Truth Behind Cooking Aroma
The smell of cooking often signals comfort, warmth and a meal prepared with care. What many people do not realise is that the same aroma travels with fine particles and volatile compounds released when heat meets oil. These components are not always visible, yet several are recognised for their potential to affect respiratory health when they recirculate and accumulate in small, enclosed Singapore kitchens.
PureCycle Plasmafilter was developed to address this overlooked issue and to help return cleaner air to the home.
02
The Invisible Pollution
Every time oil meets high heat, the air fills with more than aroma. Cooking releases a mix of harmful by-products that rise quickly and linger longer than most people realise. Many of these are too small to see, yet studies have linked repeated exposure to some of them with respiratory irritation and poorer indoor air quality.
Common Pollutants Found In Cooking Fumes Include:
PM2.5 Particles
Fine airborne particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. They can travel deep into the respiratory system and are linked to reduced indoor air quality.
Commonly found in:
Haze, vehicle emissions and cigarette smoke.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
A broad group of gases released from many everyday sources. Some VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose or throat when exposure is repeated.
Commonly found in:
Household cleaners, paints and industrial fumes.
Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs)
Compounds that move between air and surfaces indoors. They tend to linger and can contribute to long lasting indoor pollution.
Commonly found in:
Plastics, flame retardants and some consumer products.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
A group of chemical compounds formed during the heating or burning of organic material. Certain PAHs are monitored due to their potential long term health impact.
Commonly found in:
Smoke, charred food and urban air pollution.
Aldehydes and Acrylamide
Reactive compounds that can form in heated environments. Some aldehydes are known respiratory irritants, and acrylamide is widely studied in food and environmental safety research.
Commonly found in:
Tobacco smoke and high temperature food preparation.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
in trace amounts
A colourless gas that can appear in small quantities in indoor environments. Even in low levels it contributes to poorer overall air quality.
Commonly found in:
Combustion appliances and vehicle exhaust.
In Singapore, the problem intensifies. With cooking exhaust ducting not allowed, all HDB and condominium kitchens rely on internal recirculating cooker hoods. These hoods trap grease, and their carbon filters reduce some odour, but neither addresses the fine harmful compounds released into the air.
As a result, much of what rises from the pan remains in the air you breathe.

The Solution:
PureCycle PlasmaFilter
PureCycle works with your cooker hood to complete the air cleaning process. The hood draws in the cooking fumes, while PureCycle handles the fine harmful compounds that continue to circulate during cooking.
How PureCycle Works:
A
Polluted air enters the plasma chamber through the cooker hood
B
Harmful compounds interact with the plasma field
C
Pollutants convert into cleaner by products such as water vapour, carbon dioxide and nitrogen
D
Cleaner air is recirculated to the kitchen
PureCycle does not replace a cooker hood. It completes it.
By neutralising what traditional hoods cannot remove, PureCycle creates a more effective recirculating system for modern Singapore kitchens.

PureCycle PlasmaFilters:
Laboratory Tested And Certified For Singapore Homes
PureCycle has undergone independent performance testing with TUV SÜV Singapore, one of the most recognised safety and quality bodies in the region. The tests assess how effectively the unit reduces airborne pollutants commonly found in cooking fumes, and the results show clear improvements in pollutant breakdown under real world use.
