Innovative active air purification technology, manufactured by globally renowned HVAC and IAQ technology solutions firm, RGF Environmental Group, Inc., has become the only commercial product validated by third-party testing to confirm actual airborne inactivation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus by as much as 99.96%.

Distributed and installed in the United Kingdom via renowned HVAC specialists, Better Indoors, the RGF active air purification technology was put to the test via an independent study that assessed viral reductions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus occurring within the actual air, within a large chamber (1,280 cu. ft.), representing an air-conditioned office or room.

The first study of its kind to test the air, as opposed to the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces, researchers analyzed the efficacy of neutralizing the airborne virus and found that RGF Environmental Group’s active air purification technology is currently the only third-party tested indoor air quality (IAQ) solution that is proven to be 99.96% effective.

Andrew Hobbs, Founder and Managing Director (MD) of Better Indoors, the sole UK distributor of RGF products and technology, explained “The RGF air purification technology is phenomenal. It essentially vaccinates the air, offering the most proactive approach to indoor COVID-19 transmission control, while providing businesses and other organisations with an extra layer of protection beyond the capabilities of current COVID-19 mitigation measures.

Andrew Hobbs adds, “RGF’s latest study is truly ground-breaking and reinforces the capability of its technology in completely eradicating COVID-19 virus from any indoor environment. No IAQ manufacturer or technology anywhere in the world has these credentials and we strongly urge members of the academic, scientific and business communities, including CIBSE and SAGE, to engage with us to learn about it and understand how it is helping firms create safer indoor environments and future proof their buildings in preparation for the emergence from lockdown.

Hydrogen peroxide molecules break down virus

RGF Environmental Group’s active air purification technology uses no chemicals or harmful substances and works by producing and maintaining similar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide molecules, as those found in the outdoor air.

When coming into contact with microbes, the naturally occurring molecules break them down, destroy them and then revert back to harmless water vapor and oxygen. The air purification technology produces 1 quadrillion of these molecules every second, quickly killing any airborne virus or bacteria, including the highly contagious COVID-19 virus.

Over the last 10 months, Better Indoors has installed the RGF active air purification technology within domestic, commercial and industrial buildings across the United Kingdom, including all UK offices of renowned insurance market, Lloyds of London.

RGF’s PHI-PKG14 PHI-CELL is currently the only third-party tested indoor air quality (IAQ) solution that is proven 99.96% effective against the actual airborne SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus,” said Ron Fink, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the RGF Environmental Group, Inc.
