Infection outbreaks of airborne diseases are a major public health concern globally, affecting economies and societies. Airborne pathogens such as Covid-19, influenza (flu), chicken pox, and measles can be easily transmitted through the air and settle on surfaces resulting in both air and surface contamination. The infection caused by viruses like Covid-19 can result in life threatening respiratory illness and death. Globally, 50000 people die every day because of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). It causes significant economic burden worldwide [check HAIs Factsheet].

In healthcare settings, the cleaning protocol includes mainly surface decontamination and following hand hygiene protocols while missing the importance of an air sterilisation solution. As a result, this  puts patients at risk and  increases staff sickness, healthcare expenditure and inducing  a  shortage of beds and medical equipment. Therefore, there is a strong need for an  air sterilisation  solution which effectively kills pathogens, does not emit toxins and with zero downtime.
