About me

My name is Chris Buckley, I am the owner of the Torana Clean Air Center.

I graduated from Wolfson College, Oxford with a degree in physical chemistry, and for many years I worked on the development of new healthcare products for Procter & Gamble. This work brought me to China in 1995. One of my roles during my time in P&G was safety officer for a technology center, including the management of a HEPA air purification system.

Some years ago I left P&G and set up my own business making and retailing handmade textiles (most people know me as the "Tibetan carpet guy"), but I have maintained a strong interest in health and environment, not least because after moving to Beijing in 2000 I developed mild asthma. This sparked a search for an effective air cleaner, and led me to buy and try many different models and to research how they worked. This in turn eventually led me to Blueair. Several meetings with the Blueair engineers convinced me that they understood air cleaning better than any other company and designed more effective air purifiers as a result.

You are welcome to contact me by email if you have questions on how to choose an air purifier and the pros and cons of different kinds. I'm also happy to advise on what your home or office might need and where to begin to get the maximum benefit.
