Bacteria and Viruses

Airfree destroys 99,99% of bacteria and virus. Any living microorganism regardless of how small, hazardous or chemical resistant is fully and safely destroyed.

Airborne bacteria and viruses are a common source of respiratory infection and a particular threat to infants, the elderly and those with compromised immune or cardiovascular systems, including people with allergies, asthma, AIDS and heart disease. Some serious infectious diseases are spread through airborne bacteria or viruses, including whooping cough, meningitis, pneumonia, SARS and anthrax.

How large are the bacteria and viruses that threaten human health? According to the Pennsylvania State University Department of Aerobiological Engineering airborne pathogens database, health-threatening bacteria and viruses range in size from .018 micron to as large as 1.325 microns. Airfree destroys any airborne microorganism regardless of its size. Furthermore, regular air filters concept is to trap not to destroy them. Its maximum filtration capacity is 0,03 microns.

When it comes to filtration, bacteria and viruses have not been proven to behave in exactly the same way as non-living particles. Some pathogens can move on their own, and some have slimy coatings that may affect a filter's ability to capture them. Furthermore, regular home air cleaners may not always be used under ideal conditions (24 hours per day, in a sealed room appropriate to the unit's tested air volume capacity). All of these variables may affect any system's ability to filter bacteria and viruses.

Airfree is projected for a 24 hour usage, protecting your family constantly.
