Applications

Commercial and Residential

Commercial and residential spaces face a persistent problem of poor indoor air quality due to pathogens, chemicals, mold, VOCs and more in the air. There is also the near-term challenge of managing workplace safety amid COVID-19.

Real estate professionals and property managers can benefit from using hydroxyls to clear odors from nicotine, weed, pets, ethnic food, musty odors and VOCs off-gassing from new materials.

To prevent and protect against viral epidemics and seasonal influenza offices, retail chains, building property managers and other businesses need to purify the air.

Without the right air purification, the problem of indoor air quality is so prolific there is even a name for it: sick building syndrome. This condition occurs when indoor air quality is up to five times more polluted than the air outside.

For workplace health and safety, it is critical to get on the offensive when it comes to eliminating pathogens, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and chemical residues that are emitted by off-gassing materials and cleaning agents. Older buildings and those in wet or humid locations must also address harmful mold in the air and other allergens.

To enhance overall comfort, businesses should also eliminate unwanted odors that result from high traffic or density.

Senior Living Facilities

Senior living centers have a number of pathogens that are present in the air and on surfaces. Pyure® solutions can reduce transmission rates by killing these pathogens.

In long-term care facilities, residents frequently have open wounds resulting from diabetes, skin tears, and medical procedures. Infection rates are high because bacteria and viruses are readily transmitted by contact and by infected air.

Long-term care facilities can also be plagued with odors that impact the quality of life of residents, staff, and visitors. General air quality is also adversely affected by cleaning agents and minor procedures.

Hospitality

Texas Motor Speedway Case Study

Hospitality operators face unique air and surface cleaning challenges. A fresh-smelling and sanitary guest experience is essential for guest comfort and loyalty at cruise lines, hotels, casinos, resorts, and sporting events.

They can provide a 5-star experience by improving indoor air quality and neutralizing nicotine smoke, biological odors, and nuisance odors from functional areas like garbage rooms, laundry rooms, and gyms.

The close proximity of guests, multiple common areas, and the extended stays associated with some offerings require continuous air treatment for airborne viruses and other contaminants. This treatment needs to be delivered safely in the presence of guests to ensure ongoing protection.

Pyure’s® advanced air purification systems effectively remove these air and surface pollutants while running around the clock, ensuring a fresh and clean environment for guests and employees.

Healthcare

Healthcare facilities, like hospitals, doctor, and dental clinics, face ongoing challenges, from viral outbreaks to frequent bacterial infections including those that are antibiotic-resistant.

Some facilities also face mold contamination. Surface cleaning methods are effective for a period of time, but recontamination is rapid.

The cleaning products used in healthcare facilities often introduce pollutants into the air that aggravate health problems for patients. Healthcare facilities need novel solutions that enable 24/7 sanitization, improve general air quality, and further reduce the risks associated with airborne and surface pathogens.

Schools

With students attending school in classrooms, it is necessary to have plans and policies to help prevent viral outbreaks and potential class closures. Students and teachers are often in close quarters and face growing classroom sizes, while living quarters on campus are similarly cramped. During outbreaks, not only are students, teachers and staff at risk, but so are the friends and family they see afterschool. Remote learning is not a sustainable solution for pathogen protection in schools. An air purification technology that can kill viruses in the air and on surfaces can help reduce the risk of transmission.

In addition to managing the COVID-19 pandemic, schools should consider the longer term risk of other pathogens that can lurk in the air and on surfaces, putting students at risk:

• • Norovirus and other gastrointestinal viruses
  • Seasonal Influenza outbreaks
  • Future pandemics

General air quality is adversely affected by the science and vocational training that results in chemicals and other emissions, and the increased use of cleaning agents during the pandemic.
