Luxury Hotels Now Deploying Plasma Air Technology to Help Protect Their Guests and Employees Against Airborne Viruses

Bipolar ionization can help prevent the spread of viruses by neutralizing airborne pathogens.

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.

Up in the Air – Bi-polar Ionization in Meat Packing Facilities

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’s Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization Technology Earns UL 2998 Validation for Zero Ozone Emissions

Plasma Air, a Connecticut-based manufacturer and leading innovator in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions announced that its Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization 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.

Plasma Air Technology Deployed Throughout Rochester Institute of Technology Campus as School Readies to Reopen

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.

U.S. Meatpackers Install Plasma Air’s Ionization Systems in Plants to Help Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

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.

Indian Railways Installs Plasma Air Ionization in Specially Designed Train for Post-COVID Travel

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.

Third-Party Test Results Show A Reduction in Coronavirus Surrogate by 99%

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.

Plasma Air Deactivates Airborne Viruses — Cleaning the Air You Breathe

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.

Novaerus Donates Air Dis-infection Technology to Wuhan

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.

Is the New Coronavirus Airborne? (And What Does Airborne Mean, Anyway?

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.
