Wellisair uses an innovative patented technology that generates and expands hydroxyl radicals (OH) that, using advanced oxidation processes (AOP) eliminate up to 99.9% of pathogenic microorganisms (viruses and bacteria) and at the same time, reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PM particles.
Using OH in the atmosphere, military defense developed this technology in the 1970s for CBR (Chemical/Biological/ Radiological) warfare. It was commercialised in the 1990s in European hospitals and shows excellent results in the removal of harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, harmful gases, mould, and respiratory allergens that cause a contaminated environment.
Within reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydroxyl radicals (OH) perform biocidal functions in viruses, bacteria, allergens and mould this enables the degradation of organic compounds in the air to mineral forms or harmless water-soluble organic compounds.
