Researchers at the University of Florida found that the air and surface purification process 93.3% effective after an hour, 97.7% after four hours and made SARS-CoV-2 undetectable after 24 hours, according to Puradigm, a San Diego-based company.

“This is critical validation for so many industries that are scrambling for meaningful answers to keep people safe,” EMT Chief Executive Officer Randall Mount said in a statement provided to the Dayton Daily News.

“Having empirical data that shows the effectiveness against COVID-19 is important benchmark for organizations like school districts, retail businesses, manufacturing facilities and others faced with important decisions right now,” Mount added.

About 160 clients of EMT are using the technology, a 400% increase since March 1, the Centerville company said.

Among them: Graeter’s Ice Cream, the Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati, James Free Jewelers, Lucky’s Taproom, the Mason Community Center and Skyline Chili.

Using ambient air, the technology creates non-thermal plasma that reduces pathogens safely while people are in the room, according to Puradigm.
