Operating principle Photocatalysis is a natural phenomenon in which a substance, known as photocatalyst, modifies the speed of a chemical reaction through the action of light. When exposed to visible light, the WO3 absorbs and converts the light energy into electrons and electron-holes. WO3 reacts with water (air humidity) to produce hydroxyl radi- cals and with oxygen to produce superoxide anions. Billions of these high oxidant species are created in billionths of a second and work to decompose matter at molecular level. The result is an effective decomposition of the polluting organic and inorganic substances (comparable to all fine particles PM2.5-PM10), of microbes, viruses, nitrogen oxides, aromatic polycondensates, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, benzene, ethylbenzene, nitrogen monoxide and dioxide, etc. Photocatalysts do not lose their proper- ties over time as they only act as process activators, do not bind to pollutants and remain available for new photocatalysis cycles. The Igea filter uses photocatalysts with tungsten trioxide WO3 with LED light to activate the process. It speeds up the natural process of photocatalysis by up to 20 times, eliminating viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. HEALTHY AIR Covid-19 completely inactivated The tests have been carried out together with San Raffaele Hospital - Viral Pathogenesis and Biosecurity Unit (Milan, Italy). The results demonstrated the effectiveness of Igea against SARS-CoV-2 infectious viral load: • inactivated by over 98.2 % within 10 minutes • inactivated by over 99.8 % within 20 minutes • inactivated by 100 % within 30 minutes The effectiveness of this solution becomes even more crucial in a period of health emergency such as the SARS- CoV-2 pandemic. Igea filter allows the containment the transmission of the virus. 100% inactivated after 30 minutes of treatment
