The Healthy Building Institute, a division of Hygieneering that focuses on providing expert Indoor Environmental Health and Safety Compliance Services has launched a new Air Ionization Technology Program. This air cleaning technology is supported through a building’s HVAC system or through portable Bipolar Ionization air cleaners that generate positively and negatively charged Ion particles. The Ion particles produced work to gather and cluster airborne particles making them easier to drop out of the air or get captured within a building’s HVAC filtration system.
Through accredited laboratory testing results Bipolar Air Ionization Technology has also proven to cause chemical reactions to reduce VOCs, odors and kill certain viruses such as SARS-2-CoV. Therefore, Bipolar Air Ionization Technology continues to emerge as an effective air cleaning technology to support safe and healthy indoor environments.
"The ions produce a chemical reaction on the cell membrane surface that inactivates the virus," Philip Tierno, a clinical professor of microbiology and pathology at the NYU School of Medicine, told Business Insider. "It can reduce 99.9% of microbes in a matter of minutes."
