Hotel Paso del Norte among first to include air filtration system that kills COVID-19 virus
Officials said the system that’s being installed at the hotel features HVAC-mounted ionizers that use proactive air purification technologies to deactivate airborne viruses safely.
“The system incorporates bipolar ionization, which creates millions of positive and negative ions, a proven method for virus destruction,” a news release said.
The air filtration system has been tested in simulated hospital ICUs and hotels used to house medical personnel in isolation during the pandemic, officials said. The Plasma Air system was shown to reduce 99% of bacteriophage after only 10 minutes of exposure to ionization.
