Successful certified testing conducted in a building facility proves virus destroying power
Testing carried out by Tayra and backed by the Spanish Ministry of Defense Biological Laboratory in Spain has proven the effectiveness of Plasma Air Ionization technology in the reduction of MS2 Bacteriophage, a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), in indoor environments.
There is mounting research to suggest that clean air plays a vital role in preventing the spread of COVID-19. While respiratory droplets are considered the primary transmission route, experts strongly suspect some form of aerosol transmission may be occurring. Plasma Air’s HVAC-mounted ionizers use proactive air purification technologies to deactivate airborne viruses safely. Our needlepoint, brush and tube-style products use bipolar ionization, which creates millions of positive and negative ions, a proven method of virus destruction.
The donation, accepted by Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, Mr He Xiangdong, reflects the strong commitment Novaerus has to the Chinese market and to fighting the spread of COVID-19.
Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, Mr He Xiangdong, recently visited Novaerus, an Irish company that manufactures and sells patented medical-grade, clean air solutions. The visit marks an important day for Irish – Chinese solidarity as a donation of Novaerus patented air dis-infection technology leaves for two hospitals currently battling the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China. Tom Cusack, Regional Director – Asia Pacific at Enterprise Ireland, Mary Kinnane, Director – Greater China at Enterprise Ireland, Elaine Coughlan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Atlantic Bridge and delegates from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Ireland were also in attendance.
How exactly does the novel coronavirus spread?
Do infectious particles — once launched by a sneeze, a cough, or an exhalation — drop from the air within seconds, or can they remain suspended for minutes, even hours? How far and fast can they travel?
The answers, trickling out in preliminary studies, have huge implications for preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus causing the infectious disease COVID-19, especially among healthcare workers.
Plasma Air, the leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions, announces that its ionization systems have been selected and installed in the Unity Center, a mixed-use development being constructed in Krakow, Poland. The project is the result of a multi-year, forward-thinking development created to transform the area into a premier business and residential center. This new development will transform the city, bringing modern workplaces for companies to grow, luxury residential apartments, a new hotel, vibrant shopping and dining.
Furthering its dedication to being a top Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solution provider in the Middle East, WellAir (parent company of Plasma Air and Novaerus) is pleased to announce Petra Engineering Industries has chosen its Plasma Air HVAC ionization solutions for the Riyadh Metro Project. The new project is expected to be the centerpiece of the city’s public transport system and is estimated to cost approximately $22.5 billion to build.
Most would agree that hotel guests do not want to wake up to the smell of jet fuel and car exhaust. While indoor air quality may not have been a concern when the iconic TWA Flight Center opened in 1962 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (then called Idlewild Airport), nearly 60 years later it is. When the landmark building reopened as the TWA Hotel this past spring, it became JFK’s first on-airport hotel. Located directly across from JetBlue’s Terminal 5, the TWA Hotel is accessible via car, AirTrain, or directly from the arrivals level of the terminal. Given the hotel’s proximity to transportation, it is estimated that countless guests will be passing through this hotel and a key component to serving them is to maintain healthy, comfortable indoor air quality.
Grand Sierra Resort and Casino (GSR) recently installed ionization technology to combat tobacco smoke and odor throughout the resort. The new Plasma Air smoke and odor control system is the largest ionization-based installation in northern Nevada — featuring 120 Plasma Air 50 Series ionizers. The system will neutralize the air on the gaming floor and throughout the facility. “This new system will raise the level of air quality and guest comfort throughout the resort and we are proud to work with Plasma Air to bring this new technology to the region,” says Shannon Keel, the General Manager of Grand Sierra Resort and Casino.
Odor abatement and disease control: For cannabis growers in the legalization era, these are the thorniest challenges. As local governments enact strict odor ordinances, new growers need viable odor-abatement plans to get licensed, while established facilities face stiff fines for odor violations. At the same time, growers must pass rigorous microbial testing or face massive revenue loss.
The norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. It is sometimes called the “stomach flu” and was first observed in 1972.7 Since then, it has been the subject of many studies and news reports due to its rapid onset and intense symptoms. A major concern related to the virus is the rate at which it can be transmitted from person to person.
