The Positive Impact of a Novel Air Purification Technology on Environmental and Clinical Outcomes
A peer-reviewed conference abstract examining the impact of LifeAire’s advanced air purification technology on environmental and clinical outcomes in a long-term care facility. The study deployed LifeAire’s system in a memory support unit and compared environmental and clinical metrics against a HEPA-only control unit on the same floor. The technology, designed to destroy the DNA and RNA of all bacteria, fungi, and viruses on a single pass while also remediating volatile organic compounds, produced measurable improvements in airborne and surface pathogen burden, facility-acquired infection rates, and staff absenteeism.
