       Molekule on Why Your Home’s Air Could Be Disrupting Your Hormones and Sleep   Most people think of indoor air pollution as a cause of sneezing fits or dry eyes, not something that could throw off their internal clock or leave them wide-eyed at 3 a.m. But new studies are showing that the air we breathe in our homes might be doing more than irritating our sinuses. It could be quietly altering the very systems that regulate rest, recovery and hormonal health. Molekule, recognized for its advanced air purification solutions, is helping bring this hidden health issue into focus. The idea that air quality can influence hormones and sleep isn't far-fetched. Researchers have begun to connect exposure to pollutants such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5), and nitrogen dioxide to disruptions in melatonin production and changes in circadian rhythm. These subtle shifts can accumulate over time, influencing everything from how easily we fall...

   Molekule on How Air Quality Impacts Taste, Appetite, and Overall Health Most of us associate poor air quality with coughing fits, allergy flare-ups, or hazy skylines. But what if the air we inhale every day is also dulling our taste buds and skewing our sense of hunger? The conversation around pollution has long centered on respiratory health , but recent research suggests that airborne toxins may reach beyond the lungs , subtly altering how we perceive food and experience nourishment. Molekule , known for its advanced air purification technologies, explores how clean air may play a role not just in breathing easier but in living and eating better.     Scientific literature reviewed by Molekule’s team indicates that air pollution may dull taste and disrupt appetite by affecting our senses. It makes clean air essential not just for respiratory comfort but for maintaining healthy eating habits and preserving our enjoyment of f ood.     When Flavor Disappe...

Cleaner Air After Fires: The Push for Safer Firefighting Solutions

Image
Whether caused by extreme weather conditions or human activity, fires—including increasingly intense wildfires—are becoming more frequent and hazardous for communities worldwide. Beyond the immediate destruction and tragic loss of life, these events leave behind harmful airborne pollutants, including PFAS (often called "Forever Chemicals"). PFAS can persist in the environment for decades, posing serious health risks to people and wildlife. Organizations like Molekule are actively developing technologies to mitigate airborne contaminants and improve air quality. Research and development efforts are underway to address these concerns, ensuring cleaner, safer environments in fire-affected areas.  A Shift Toward PFAS-Free Fire Suppression  Traditional firefighting foams have relied on PFAS-based formulations due to their effectiveness in extinguishing flammable liquid fires. However, the environmental and health concerns surrounding these chemicals have driven the search for alt...
