X# particles – 42% = Much better IAQ

Let’s keep it simple.?

If there was a way to reduce small airborne particles, specifically particles that are 2.5 microns in size and smaller,?in the center of a classroom, I think we can all agree it would be an exciting approach to improving indoor air quality.??Particles that are 2.5 microns and smaller are particles that are small enough to go into our blood streams.??These are particles that can cause asthma and allergies. Included in these size particles are airborne pathogens – like Sars-CoV-2.?

To be clear, we are talking about the ability to decrease small particles in the center of a classroom or space (ie. Cafeteria, library, gym, office). We are not talking about reducing the particles in a classroom using a filter which would mean that particles would need to be pulled into the return vent and eventually make their way to a filter with the hopes of that filter (ie. Merv13) capturing the particle.?

This is not to say that using a Merv13 is ineffective. The point is that we are talking about is?the ability to decrease airborne particles in the center of a classroom mid-stream.??That would be remarkable.

Here is the great news.??This technology exists today. AtmosAir’s patented bipolar ionization technology has been doing this since 2007 when it was first patented – well before the pandemic.

In addition to the already existing industry leading number of lab tests, UL certifications, 3rd party tests and real-world tests, we wanted to quantify just how effective AtmosAir is in a school.

In a recent Pandemic Solutions’ AtmosAir supplied project for the City School District of New Rochelle (NY), we brought in a reputable IAQ 3rd?party engineer, Guth DeConzo Engineering, to test the air before AtmosAir equipment was operating and after.??

...Represents the percentage decrease in .3 micron-sized particles that was validated by Guth DeConzo Engineering for the City School District of New Rochelle-?as measured in the center of 97 spaces across 10 schools within the school district.

The cumulative total of .3 micron-sized particles as measured per square foot was reduced from 152,780,632 to 89,276,386.?AtmosAir's technology effectively took 63,504,246 particles out of the air measuring .3 microns!

To be clear, this was a 3rd party collecting data in a school where the students sit, where they eat, and where they learn ...and the data is unimpeachable.?

In addition, the 2/5/22 Fresno State ASHRAE Study that showed that DBD BPI (AtmosAir's equipment) +Merv13 closely matched a HEPA filter performance did not come as a surprise. The Guth DeConzo testing in New Rochelle was already done in Fall 2021.??

Incidentally, data was also collected in the same report from Guth DeConzo for .5 microns and 1.0 microns and they were also reduced by 45% and 42% respectively.?Lastly – on average - VOCs dropped by 6%; Formaldehyde dropped by 9%.

How did we get these results? Science is amazing. When we know what an ion can do and we put more in a space, we get results. It's that simple. On average, we increased the ion count by 93% across the same 97 spaces that were tested.??

Just remember one simple fact: If you have 2 classrooms, both with the same ventilation and both using Merv13, and one classroom measures 1,000 ions per cubic centimeter (that’s how ions are measured) and the other measures 2,500 ions per cubic centimeter, it is the classroom with 2,500 ions per cubic centimeter that is healthier and safer for our students and teachers.???
