Hotels across the nation are installing state-of-the-art filtration systems, including Plasma Air’s bipolar ionization technology, to help tackle the coronavirus where it is now believed to be the most dangerous – in the air.
STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Plasma Air, the leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions, announces today that its ionization systems are being installed in the Clint Independent School District (ISD) in El Paso, TX. With an enrollment of 11,800 students, Clint ISD has 14 campuses – four high schools, four middle/junior high schools, and six elementary schools. The Plasma Air systems will be deployed across all of its campuses as part of the school district’s safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Stamford, CT (November 02,2020) – Plasma Air, the leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions, announces today that several top luxury hotel brands have selected its ionization systems. The Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels and The Ritz-Carlton are installing bipolar ionization technology in their properties’ HVAC systems to help neutralize viruses, such as COVID-19.
As meat and poultry operations across the nation work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in processing facilities, they’re taking the fight to the air. In part, that’s due to mounting scientific evidence that indicates the highly infectious novel coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, is transmitted through air, not just by person-to-person (via respiratory droplets) or surface contact alone.
Plasma Air, a Connecticut-based manufacturer and leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions announces that its Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI) technology has been UL 2998 validated — certifying the products as ozone free. As ozone awareness increases in the air purification industry, Underwriters Laboratory -UL has developed a new environmental standard, UL 2998, concerning the ozone output of electrostatic air cleaners. Many HVAC design engineers include this standard in their schedules and specifications to avoid air purification devices that emit ozone.
RIT strategically implements IAQ solutions to prevent the spread of coronavirus
Stamford, CT (August, 12, 2020) – Plasma Air, the leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions, announces today that its ionization systems have been selected by Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to be deployed campus-wide as a preventative measure against the spread of coronavirus. This private research university has a student population of 16,000 students spread over its 1,300-acre campus. When it welcomes students back this fall, it will have one of the most effective air purification solutions installed throughout its residence halls, classrooms, and common areas.
The world’s largest meatpackers have installed Plasma Air’s air purification systems in their U.S. processing plants. The decision comes as pressure increases on food companies to protect workers from growing concerns about airborne transmission of COVID-19.
In order to prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep rail travelers and employees safe, Indian Railways has rolled out specially designed coaches for post-COVID travel. Sustaining the ruthless fight against the spread of COVID-19, Indian Railway’s production unit, the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, has developed a Post-COVID Coach to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 during railway travel. This post-COVID Coach has design improvements such as Plasma Air air ionization systems, hands-free amenities, copper-coated handrails and latches, and titanium dioxide coating for a safe and clean passenger journey.
Spanish Ministry of Defense Biological Laboratory Test Plasma Air Ionizers on Coronavirus Surrogate
Testing carried out by Tayra and backed by the Spanish Ministry of Defense Biological Laboratory in Spain on the Plasma Air Ionization technology showed a 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 that 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.
