“the most effective air purifying technology for continuously decontaminating and keeping indoor air clean”
Varionix bipolar ionization systems from Kasel Air provide comprehensive protection from airborne microbes, including Coronavirus. Our devices work inside your existing air handling system, or as standalone units, producing positive and negative ions that destroy the surface of a microbe like Coronavirus. Varionix systems are effective against a wide array of pathogens, as well as allergens like mold and dust.
Coronavirus risk in buildings and how to mediate it:
While media and government organizations provide a vast amount of information on their websites regarding good personal practices to limit exposure to Coronavirus, less attention has been paid to limiting the risk of exposure in buildings. This can be accomplished easily by using sophisticated and effective air purification technology that eliminates a multitude of airborne pathogens, including (but not limited to) Coronavirus.
Covid-19 is believed to spread predominantly from person to person, between people who are in close contact/proximity with one another (within about 6 feet), or via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)).
A person can also get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has come into contact, then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, although this is not thought to be the main way this virus spreads. (CDC)
Now, imagine such an infectious virus inside a building, perhaps because infected respiratory droplets entered the air and traveled inside the HVAC system ducts, as a result of sneezing, coughing, or touching surfaces within the structure. When these infected droplets are deposited on various surfaces, including those our hands touch, like counters, handles, and doorknobs, everyone in the building becomes susceptible to the virus.
If the pathogen is also floating through the air, this is another, possibly more likely, source of infection. A recent study by Kampf et. al. in the Journal of Hospital Infection concluded that human coronaviruses may remain infectious on different types of materials at room temperature for 2 hours up to 9 days, and at 4°C they can remain infectious for up to ≥ 28 days.
How can you avoid or alleviate the contamination of your buildings? Advanced air purification solutions are vital. Varionix systems from Kasel Air, when installed in the existing HVAC systems of buildings or as a standalone unit, actively, efficiently, and within a couple of minutes, eliminate microbes and viruses from the passing air. In this way, they eliminate the risk of HVAC systems contaminating entire buildings by delivering and depositing infected particles.
Since the virus is spread via direct and indirect contact, the continuous application of our bipolar ions emitted into the air continuously disinfects both breathing spaces and surfaces. It is the most effective air purifying technology for continuously decontaminating and keeping indoor air clean.
Best of all, a Varionix system will not only keep your building safe from coronavirus and other pathogens, it also reduces allergens, and VOCs, leaves the building smelling fresh, and reduces heating and cooling costs by drastically lowering the amount of outside air that needs to be brought in.
