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.

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.
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.
