The Dangers of Aerosols
According to Jayaweera, Hasini, Buddhika and Jagath (2020), transmission of harmful bacteria and viruses via droplets and aerosols from cough-jet can increases exponentially in confined spaces and varying ventilation conditions. Below, one can see how far aerosol can cough jet, thus potentially spreading harmful aerosol to others in close proximity.
Reliable Aerosol Protection
Blocks dangerous aerosols to protect your health.
We conducted independent studies to measure the spray of aerosols in the air between AirGuards and cloth masks, revealing AirGuard technology reduced the presence of nanomaterial. The studies, also, shown a cloth mask will fail over a period of time. Therefore, studies determined the most effective way of protecting against aerosol is through AirGuard Minis, which function as small mechanical nose filters. AirGuard Minis includes built-in UV, carbon and HEPA filters that eliminates materials from entering the body through the nose.
Inclusion of build-in UV, carbon and HEPA filters.
Ultraviolet (UV) light consists of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than x-rays. UV light exhibits anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Short wavelength UV light (UV-C) is considered ‘germicidal UV’. Nucleic acids that make up DNA of viruses and bacteria may exhibit defects when exposed to UV-C light. These defects may prevent effective replication, thus eliminating or substantially reducing the ability of viruses and bacteria to replicate.
Cutting Edge Filtration
Carbon air filters are recognized as being effective in removing hazardous gaseous chemicals, as well as certain odors, from the air. High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing (HEPA) air filters remove undesired particulate matter from the air. AirGuard Minis combine both filter types in one package to purify air for its users.
