AirOn was created by five friends who met at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering. Alim Williams, Diallo Sambury, Kadeem Joseph, Ramon Parchment, and Shane Garraway came together to find a solution to create face masks that can protect against harmful bacteria in the air.
The company’s AirFusion Mask is a breathable filtered mask that uses smart technology to allow the user to breathe fresh air. The mask includes an N95 filter and a rechargeable turbine system that moves exhausted air from the nose and mouth. The mask can be adjusted for comfort. “Our masks are worn by a wide variety of users, including fitness enthusiasts, bodybuilders, and your everyday commuter looking for that extra added comfort when wearing a premium face mask for a long time,” Ramon says.
