Infection Control
Odours and airborne infections are created by bacteria, viruses, mould, fungi and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in the air and on surfaces. Regular cleaning, disinfecting and masking agents are not enough. They will not kill the bacteria which can multiply from one to 8 million in 8 hours. In the home high levels of harmful bacteria and viruses accumulate in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and other places such as shoe cupboards. Toilets flush faecal micro-organisms into the air and onto surfaces.
Poor ventilation and shared facilities add to the problems. What’s more people who do not wash their hands spread the risk outside the bath room. People who suffer from asthma and other respiratory problems are at particular risk from airborne bacteria. Homes also suffer odours caused by incontinence and pets.In homes, Air Steril uses 5 technologies to kill 98.11% of bacteria in the air
The AS Silent range is ideal for the average home. Once installed, it supplies bacteria controlled purified air all day long. There are no filters - it requires an annual U/V lamp change. Where there are larger spaces and/or higher levels of contamination an AS MP multipurpose unit will provide low ozone output ensuring a fresh smelling environment without risk to human health.

A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University found an association between increasing levels of indoor particulate matter pollution and the severity of asthma symptoms among children. The study, which followed a group of asthmatic children in Baltimore, Md., is among the first to examine the effects of indoor particulate matter pollution.
