A recent study conducted in partnership with The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC) has shown a significant reduction of airborne pathogens using ActivePure’s Advanced Photohydrolysis (AP) Technology. The study found that AP effectively and rapidly inactivated aerosolized SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and monkeypox virus (MPXV), highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for improving indoor air quality and infection control in high-risk settings.
Researchers at UTMB designed and conducted the study by aerosolizing viral suspensions of the mentioned viruses in a controlled chamber using devices equipped with AP technology. The results showed that AP significantly reduced concentrations of SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and MPXV within minutes of activation.
Dr. William Lawrence, the senior author and lead researcher on the project, emphasized the importance of testing new technologies to address global health risks posed by infectious diseases. Dr. Deborah Birx, ActivePure’s chief medical advisor, underscored the effectiveness of AP Technology in mitigating the spread of airborne pathogens, especially in environments with vulnerable populations.
Unlike traditional air filtration systems, AP operates actively by continuously transforming ambient humidity into oxidative molecules for real-time air and surface disinfection. This technology offers a promising solution for improving air quality and reducing transmission risks in healthcare facilities, schools, and long-term care settings.
ActivePure Technology, a division of AP Sciences Group, LLC, is a global leader in proactive surface and air decontamination systems, offering automated protection against environmental contamination risks. UTMB, the nation’s first public medical school and hospital, continues to conduct groundbreaking research and provide comprehensive healthcare services.
