PlasmaWave™
Basic Technology: As it exits the
air-cleaning unit, filtered air passes through a corona discharge (a type of electric pulse). This process creates BOTH negative and positive ions - which is air in a plasma state.
In Phase Two, the plasma combines with naturally occurring water vapor
to form Hydroxyl Radicals (OH, unstable molecules stripped of hydrogen and oxygen atoms).
Hydroxyls attack airborne pollutants that include viruses, bacteria, germs, odors,
and chemical gases (VOCs).
The Pollutants Are Destroyed in the process while the Hydroxyls reform into water vapor (H2O) or other harmless air molecules.
PlasmaWave™ produces NO OZONE or other harmful by-products as it emulates the way nature cleans the air. |
What is nano-silver?
Throughout history, silver has been recognized as one of the most efficient germicides known. While an antibiotic can kill as many as a
half-dozen different kinds of disease organisms, silver is known to kill some 650 species of bacteria or viruses simply by coming into contact with them. Particle size has been the only limiting factor to silver's effectiveness. Now through
nano-technology, a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing particles that measure in nanometers (1 billionth of a meter), silver can be used efficiently as an antimicrobial in medicines, filters, clothing and personal hygiene products. |
