Air purification can do wonders for your home, from allergy prevention to guaranteeing bacteria-free air. The latest promise is particularly alluring: preventing the spread of Covid-19. According to a recent and independent study by Innovative Bioanalysis Laboratory, purifiers from Aura Air can help destroy up to 99.99 percent of airborne SARS-CoV-2 particles within 60 minutes. This could a huge win for those hoping to keep their home and office Covid-safe in 2022 and beyond.
Here are the highlights about this air purification system — with a particular focus on how it can help you stay healthy.
Destroying Covid-19 Particles
The Aura Smart Air Purification system kills viruses, bacteria, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), allergens, and more. Of course, nothing is more exciting than the recent trial run by Innovative Bioanalysis Laboratory. This laboratory, which has CDC approval for BSL-3 safety level trials, found that Aura Air could filter and remove 99.9 percent of airborne coronavirus particles. These findings mirror the results from another independent trial at prestigious Israeli medical facility Sheba Medical Center.
“”The Innovative Bioanalysis Lab results only confirms what we’ve seen in other studies…Aura Air purifiers kill SARS-CoV-2,” Aura Americas CEO Roei Friedberg said in a company press release. “Through its high filtration levels, Aura Air is able to combat SARS-CoV-2 and the new Delta variant head on and offer the security needed to help the world to return to our daily routines while helping businesses recover from this devastating global pandemic.”
How Does the Aura Air Work?
Aura Air incorporates a smart and proven system to clean your home or office air. It starts with a pre-filter to target the largest particles commonly found in air, such as dust, pollen, and hair from insects and animals. After that, it uses the patent Ray Filter with three antibacterial layers: a HEPA filter, a cotton fabric filter with copper oxide, and an activated carbon filter. These three layers work in tandem to target ultra-fine particles like germs, odors, viruses, funguses, mold, and bacteria.
The built-in Sterionizer then generates pure air, and releases positive and negative ions into your space. The Aura Air’s UVC LEDs ultimately kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This creates the final product: clean and healthy air.
When it comes to physically setting up this device, its small size becomes a major perk. Unlike many clunky air purifiers, which can take up floor space, the device mounts on the wall or ceiling. In terms of size, the device is 12 pounds and 14.7 x 14.7 x 6 inches — but don’t let its size fool you. One small-but-mighty device can disinfect a space of up to 600 square feet.
A Smart, App-Controlled System
Controlling the Aura Smart Air Purification system is seamless, thanks to the easy-to-navigate Aura App. This app connects to the purifier via your WiFi network. It features reports on air quality indexes in your home. These reports are based on carbon dioxide levels, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds.
Beyond monitoring your indoor air quality, the app also provides air quality readings for your air outside based on the EPA reports. This includes metrics you’ll find for indoor pollutants, as well as nitrogen oxide, ozone, and sulfur dioxide, according to a Tech Hive review of the product. Once you look in the app even further, you’ll find deeper data from your Aura Air’s sensors, including airborne pollutant levels.
The Aura Smart Air’s intelligence extends beyond the app. It has an intuitive auto mode that adjusts based on the indoor air-quality index. You can also manually adjust to silent, low, or high. You can also set times for it to automatically switch off its LED indicator. This is particularly important if you have the Aura Smart Air Purification system in your bedroom.
Clean Air for All
Aura Smart Air Purification is a welcome tool to freshen the air around you. The company has long provided air purification to help its customers breathe more easily and therefore, feel better and healthier overall. But Aura’s mission has been enhanced significantly with Covid-19.
“We are at a point in the pandemic where everyone should have access to air that is safe to breathe,” Friedberg said in the company’s press release. And, from the air purification system’s intuitive and handy app to its easy installation and operation — not to mention third-party verification — Aura is making major strides toward reaching that goal.
