AIRsteril® has released information about the effectiveness of its products against coronavirus.
AIRsteril® infection control units help to eradicate infections and illnesses by killing airborne bacteria, viruses and moulds on all exposed surfaces using UV, ozone and plasma technology.
Since the emergence of coronavirus AIRsteril® has seen a significant increase in enquiries into the effectiveness of their products against the disease.
The two main ways coronavirus spreads are in the air as infected droplets and aerosols (particles suspended in the atmosphere) produced by coughing and sneezing, and human contact with contaminated surfaces then touching the mouth, nose or eyes.
The effectiveness of AIRsteril®
AIRsteril® technology is effective against the group of microbes and viruses that are known causes of colds and influenza, the same group that SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) belongs to. The use of AIRsteril® units in an NHS Trust reduced illness-related absences as well as cases of colds, coughs and influenza, chest and respiratory complaints.
As Dr. David L. Webber says in his article on Coronavirus and AIRsteril (PDF), AIRsteril® has not yet been tested against SARS-CoV-2 (or a suitable surrogate). However, there is a great deal of scientific evidence that a wide range of microbes more difficult to eradicate than SARS-CoV-2 can be killed by AIRsteril® infection control units.
