The following excerpts were taken from tests conducted in March of 1999 by an Industrial and Environmental Safety Specialists testing facility. Penicillium chrysogenum (airborne mold) was reduced an average of 49.7% in four minutes of operation with one of the units. "Since Penicillium chrysogenum is representative of a wide range of fungi, we would anticipate similar results with many other fungi." Micrococcus luteus (airborne bacteria) was reduced an average of 54.2% in four minutes of operation with an air cleaning unit. "since Micrococcus luteus is representative of a wide range of bacteria, we would anticipate similar results with many other bacteria." Volatile Organic Compounds - Isobutlene was used as a typical volatile organic compound. A reduction from 36.5% up to 53.7% was achieved within four minutes of operation with a air cleaning unit. "We would expect to obtain similar results from many other double-bonded hydrocarbon VOC's." A study was also conducted in Williamsburg, Virginia, in collaboration with research scientist from John Hopkins University. The use of the air cleaner reduced airborne fungal concentrations to 51% of the concentration measured in control rooms. Rooms with the air cleaners had fungal concentrations that were 59.74% of control rooms. "Although the exact nature mechanism leading to airborne fungal concentration reductions is unclear, the effect is well substantiated and statistically robust."
The oxidation technology the Air Cleaner employs has been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has formally approved the oxidation technology employed by the Air Cleaner in gaseous (air) and aqueous (water) phases as an antimicrobial agent. The U.S.D.A. has published studies supporting the success they have had with ion technology in the reduction of dust and the transmission of disease. |
