Office Air Purifiers: Inactivating Coronavirus Through Your HVAC Systems

 The Coronavirus pandemic kept the offices sealed for a very long time. However, as the number of people returning to the workplace is increasing, the risk of coronavirus transmission is also increasing. The good news is that office air purifiers with UV light can help in the safe re-opening of offices.

You've just arrived at the office after a long time working from home and you're unsure of how safe it is for you to be at a public space yet. You check the news and the delta variant & COVID-19 third wave are all over. You think about the hundreds of people who have been exposed to the virus and how they're all going to come to work and spread it. You fear that you will catch it too, questioning if it was the right decision to be here, not just for your own safety but that of your entire family.

“Return to the workplace” and the threat of 3rd wave of coronavirus

Every individual who is resuming work from the office must be going through this fear and concerned about their safety and health. The safety of employees is the need of the hour, whereas fear of transmission is an overlooked yet equally important issue to address.

As the 3rd wave is around the corner, several things are required to make the office environment safe for your employees while they resume working from the office. This calls for stringent protection and air disinfection measures. To protect the employees from coronavirus transmission and ensure business continuity,  there are many prudent reasons why offices should invest in office air purifiers and electronic air purifiers like UV  light sanitizers.

UV Light sanitizer for superior protection against COVID-19

ASHRAE has prepared a set of guidelines and measures to limit the transmission of airborne infectious diseases in indoor spaces, to be used along with cleaning and disinfection, social distancing, and engineering control. These are increased ventilation, improved filtration, and the use of air cleaning devices such as UV light sanitizers.

UV light, an effective-air purifying technology that has been used in hospitals worldwide for decades, is now available for use in more common public spaces like offices, to safeguard against  COVID-19. UV light sanitizers such as Magneto central air Cleaners co-powered with UVGI can thoroughly sanitize and disinfect indoor air in the entire building.

For instance, Magneto Central Air Cleaner uses UVGI light (254 nm) to rupture the DNA/ RNA of microbes hence leaving them unable to reproduce. It also eliminates viruses, pollutants, dust mites, and other microorganisms creating healthier and safer indoor working environment conditions. Based on the filterless magnetic technology and trap and kill principle, it uses no harmful chemicals or filters!

A closer look at air disinfection through office HVAC

As we know that Coronavirus is airborne, it can remain suspended in the air for many hours. Also, studies have shown that recirculating air in an air-conditioned environment is at a higher risk, while air pollutants can be a potential source to carry SARS-CoV-2 further than the recommended 6 feet distance indoors.

Magneto Central Air Cleaners, a high-efficiency electronic air purifier for offices,  can be integrated with any make and capacity of the HVAC system. The air recirculating from these aircon units passes through the multiple filtration stages i.e impingement, polarisation, and agglomeration, where all the harmful air pathogens are trapped and eliminated from the air. The final step is UV light sanitizer which provides finality to the product performance and safety by rupturing the RNA of viruses, eliminating the microbes responsible for airborne infections such as SARS-CoV-2. Hence, the air is completely sanitized, disinfected, and healthy to breathe.

Ensure a safe and productive work environment

If you are worried about employee safety and want to break the chain of transmission indoors, an office air purifier can help you reduce the spread of the virus. An office air purifier is a great way to ensure you have a safe and productive environment to work in.

The key takeaway is that you are not only cleaning the air around you with the help of electronic office air purifiers but also protecting your staff from coronavirus, you are also ensuring business continuity.
