Israeli startup ProtectAir has developed an air-purifier that neutralizes over 99% of airborne viruses and bacteria by releasing chlorine dioxide (ClO2) into the air at a very low concentration that is safe for humans and animals. When a person with COVID-19 sneezes, coughs, or speaks, nasal and saliva discharges get released into the air. The droplets are heavy and will settle fast. ProtectAir attacks those secretions before they settle on surfaces. It does it by deactivating the virus’ receptor binding and preventing viral multiplication.
