Healthy air is our health
Nanohub, Fuel, Dto: working together to revolutionise indoor air quality
The air that you breathe in offices, in public transport and even in your homes is worse than that outdoor. This is a proven fact. What is difficult to understand, however, is that very few people pay the same amount of attention to their indoor air quality as they do, for example, to food quality. Actually, an unhealthy environment strongly influences on the heath of an individual in both the short and long term. Three companies know this well.
Their common denominator is innovation; three business who have chosen to work together to supply a solution that is destinated to revolutionise the indoor air sanitation industry.
It all started with the Milanese Nanohub, a start-up that has the benefit of the long years of experience in nanotechnologies of its owner, Stefano Perboni. “Reducing polluting agents improves people’s wellbeing, an ideal condition for those suffering from allergies, but honestly also for anyone, because it is scientifically proven that in an environment with clean air people study better, work better and are more productive. But there are varied applications.
For example, in the sale of fruits and vegetables: eliminating the presence of ethylene gas preserves products better indoors, reducing food waste”.
Nanohub has therefore patented the filtration system used in its equipment to improve air quality, thanks to technology based on the combined effect of photocatalysis and a new antiviral/ antibacterial material.
For photocatalysis they do not use, like other devices on the market, titanium dioxide, a chemical with a carcinogenic level of 1, but a photocatalyser which activates in the visible light spectrum. The result? Effectiveness from 5 to 20 times superior to pre-existing technology with no side effects from use. And so, they created a range of twelve devices that satisfy the needs of public and private transport, residences, industries, commercial facilities and personal care and that now have achieved Sima Verified status. Manufacturing is entrusted to Fuel, from Varese.
“The Nanohub solution is not based on mechanical filtration – notes Engineer Massimo Ottino, the owner of Fuel – this technology guarantees, at a molecular level, the disintegration of the pathogen, which will therefore not even be present in the filter. All of this while creatin an irrelevant amount of non-dangerous by products: water vapour, minerals, and carbon dioxide. And this makes it possible to use in the presence of people, right at the moment the air is contaminated. Contrarily to technology using peroxide or ozone (which can not be used continuously) active agents do not need to be reintegrated and, differently from devices using UV lamps, the do not need maintenance”.
“Italy has become much more sensitive in this regard – notes Pierantonio Del Turco, from the Venetian Dto, the company handling the sale in Italy of the standalone device (Fuel sells those connected to transportation) – For example the Levante model, ideal for sanitising room of 50-70 square meters per hour of air, is frequently acquired by school administrations, often with the direct intervention of the parents who demonstrate, with facts, that they care about the health of their children.
The new KtV filter patented by Nanohub has been tested in the Laboratory for Viral Pathology and Biosafety in the San Raffaele hospital in Milano, highlighting a deactivation of viral load within ten minutes of over 98%, and a total deactivation of the virus in 30 minutes
We have been the first in the world to successfully test our solutions on Covid-19”.
For photocatalysis we do not use titanium dioxide, a chemical with a carcinogenic level of 1, but a photocatalysis which activates in the visible light spectrum. The result? Effectiveness from 5 to 20 times superior with no side effects from us
(Dto Srl)
(Venedig) Dto Srl – Anti-covid "KtV"-filtret som nyligen patenterats av Nanohub i Milano. På bara 10 minuter inaktiverar en hög smittsam virusbelastning (15 000 partiklar) av SARS-CoV-2 med mer än 98,2%. På 20 minuter 99,8% samt 100% på 30 minuter. KtV-Filtret består av den senaste generationens fotokatalytiska reaktorer och en antibakteriell, antiviral vävnad. Den gör det nu möjligt att sanera luften av SARS-CoV-2 som nu är panepidemin största problem för hälsomyndigheterna för att återgå till ett normalt liv.
