In the beauty and wellness world, clean air is as important as clean tools. Every day, nail technicians are exposed to strong chemical smells from products like acetone, alcohol, and EMA solutions. These fumes don’t just cause discomfort — they can also affect health and productivity.
According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), prolonged exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can irritate the eyes, throat, and skin. It can also lead to headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) links poor indoor air quality to long-term respiratory problems and even worsened concentration at work.
At U1st Nail Salon in Birmingham, UK, the owner faced exactly that problem. Despite open windows and fans, the chemical odours lingered. Staff got used to the smell, but clients still noticed. The salon needed a safer, more effective solution.
After a short trial, they installed PURIZONE, Biozone Scientific’s compact air purification system. The unit was placed near the manicure desk — right where the fumes were strongest. Within a few days, the difference was clear.

“My clients have noticed a reduction in the chemical odours in the premises.
The product runs smoothly with almost no noise.”
— Jacky Tran, U1st Nail Salon Owner
Unlike standard filters or fans, PURIZONE uses Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) and Photoplasma™ technology. Together, they break down VOCs and chemical molecules in the air, instead of just masking them. This process keeps the salon’s air fresh, clean, and free from unpleasant odours — all day, every day.
The system works continuously, requires almost no maintenance, and operates silently. Most importantly, it helps create a healthier environment for both clients and staff. Cleaner air supports concentration, reduces irritation, and improves overall well-being.
Chemical vapours in nail salons often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — airborne chemicals that can cause irritation, fatigue, and long-term respiratory effects.
PURIZONE tackles these challenges using advanced UVGI and Photoplasma™ technology, breaking down VOCs and chemical odours at their source. The result is cleaner, fresher, and healthier air, without filters, chemicals, or maintenance disruptions.
As more salon owners recognize the importance of air quality, systems like PURIZONE are setting new standards for safety, sustainability, and comfort. For U1st Nail, the change was clear — and the air, even clearer.
