A virus is a type of micro-organism that has been classified as an infectious agent. It is a self-multiplying organism that only infects humans, plants, and animals. When it comes to medicine, a virus is one of the most challenging infectious agents due to its fast reproduction rate that can lead to viral infection and its ability to evolve. Not one virus is the same and can lead to different diseases with varied symptoms. There are many methods viruses can be transmitted such as touch, liquid transfer, or airborne.
Airborne viruses which are transmitted through the air are the type that has a higher possibility for viral infection. An example of an airborne virus is the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes the Coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
Bacteria, in general, are single-celled organisms that exist everywhere around us. Bacteria can be either beneficial, neutral, or even harmful to humans depending on the type. Harmful bacteria are known as pathogenic bacteria and they can either be infectious or non-infectious. Mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes tuberculosis and Streptococcus which causes pneumonia are examples of infectious pathogenic bacteria.
Similar to viruses, these pathogenic bacteria also have different transmission methods with the most common being touch and the most prone to outbreaks being airborne.
As one of the fastest transmitted types of viruses and bacteria, airborne viruses and bacteria can infect a cluster of people at a time similar to what happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 was initially thought to be a form of bacterial-caused pneumonia because of its overlapping symptoms and transmission method.
Researchers for the SARS-CoV-2 virus later determined that the virus spread is faster and affects more people when indoors compared to outdoors. This makes the workplace a common infectious ground for Covid-19 and other diseases. A disease outbreak caused by both viruses and bacteria at any workplace or business premises can lead to;
In a post-Covid world, proper ventilation and improvement of indoor air quality are now required for all business and public premises. To achieve this businesses often choose to install air purifiers on their premises. Although it is easy to find an air purifier for viruses on the market, it is not a germ-killing air purifier. Instead of removing viruses completely from the air, air purifiers commonly found in the market simply trap them in their filters.
While bacteria are considered germs, most germ-killing air purifiers on the market do not necessarily have the capability to completely eradicate them. It either traps them, similar to how air purifiers for viruses work, or lacks the capability completely. In comparison to viruses, purchasing an air purifier for bacteria is not a typical option for bacterial removal. Disinfection is the more popular option, but this is a short-term solution and can incur extra costs to be done routinely.
Biozone eliminates these threats using our ozone, patented Photoplasma™, and germicidal light (UV) as an overall process the moment you turn on our devices.
Odour is one or more chemical compounds that your sense of smell can only perceive. While there are different types of odours in general, the term, “odour” is more commonly known as harmful or unpleasant smells. Different odours are present at all times. There are many causes of these odours, and the amount of each at a given location can influence the intensity of these odours. The most common causes of odours are poor waste management, ventilation, and chemical management.
Odour can affect you differently depending on the intensity and causes of these odours. A mild odour at the very least can make you feel irritated and uncomfortable. However, there are many health concerns associated with strong odours, including sensory irritation in the eyes and nose, nausea, headaches, coughing, wheezing, and other respiratory issues. Additionally, odours caused by a large number of volatile chemicals like methane can be life-threatening.
If your workplace or business premises generate a lot of odours you might be facing;
Mild odours can typically be managed with short-term solutions such as using air fresheners, air diffusers, and other scented products. For long-term solutions, you might consider buying an air purifier for odour removal. There is technically no specific air purifier for odour removal on the market rather it is an added feature of a normal air purifier.
This added odour removal feature has very limited function and can only eliminate mild odours and not strong or volatile odour. You might need to subscribe to a professional cleaning or chemical management service in order to eliminate strong, volatile odour.
Biozone overcomes these challenges as our 5-in-1 technology including ozone works to eliminate odour in the air.
Mould is a type of fungi that appears dust-like and wispy. Mould thrives in cold, damp places both indoors and outdoors. There are more than 100,000 types of mould out there and some of them are yet to be classified. Outdoor moulds are natural and can be found everywhere. Indoor mould, on the other hand, is spread by air or by being attached to our pets and clothes.
Mould can be either neutral, beneficial, or harmful to us depending on the type and amount of exposure.
Prolonged and large exposure to mould can eventually compromise your health. Spores from moulds are notorious allergens that can cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma. Common allergic reactions to moulds include sneezing, wheezing, coughing, eye irritations, and in some cases, rashes. Individuals with asthma who are exposed to moulds in large quantities can be triggered and experience shortness of breath.
Moulds can also cause significant damage to your building as it feeds on organic matters such as your walls, insulation, and carpeting. Hence, mould is often considered either a health or building violation and sometimes both.
Direct consequences of uncontrolled mould infestation at your workplace and premises therefore can;
So far, effective mould management and removal would require you to contact a specialized service provider. The cost for a mould removal service varies depending on the contractors and it requires your premises to be emptied during the process which reduces your operation days. Another option that you can consider is by using air purifiers. There are a number of air purifiers for mould on the market but these air purifiers simply trap mould spores instead of eliminating them. Finding an effective air purifier for mould is a challenge in itself.
Biozone’s germicidal light (UV) and Photoplasma technology again functions as the main element that helps eliminate mould and solve all these challenges.
