A face shield system utilizes a headgear with an outer shield and an optional inner side that is proximal to a person wearing the face shield. The headgear may be configured to receive a disinfecting cartridge that neutralize or destroy pathogens in an airflow flowing therethrough. The cartridge may include a neutralizing UV light emitter and a destroying UV light emitter as well as an ionizer. The plenum may include a plurality of baffles to produce a serpentine flow through the plenum. The baffles and the interior of the plenum may be textured and polished and may include catalytic coatings for improving the effectiveness of pathogen destruction and absorbing ions and UV light. An air inlet may allow air from the plenum to pass into the inner side of the shield after the air is disinfected and purified by the UV light emitters.

A system for decontaminating/neutralizing breathable air and surfaces in an occupied enclosed space, i.e., hydroponic greenhouses, aircraft, rail and road vehicles, in building ducts, or rooms, includes mounting an atmospheric hydroxyl radical generator along an inside surface of an occupied space having respective air inlets and air outlets. The hydroxyl radical generator includes a polygonal housing supporting a plurality of spaced crystal-spliced UV optics medical grade pure quartz, which emit/irradiate ultraviolet in the nanometer wavelength/ultraviolet spectrum of between 100 and 400 nanometers for deactivating and neutralizing atmospheric chemicals and pathogens in breathable air and surfaces. The hydroxyl radicals contact the walls of the reaction chamber housing. The hydroxyl radicals become created and excited to react quickly with impurities including VOC, virus, bacteria and fungi, rendering them inactivated and neutral. The breathable air passes through the polygonal housing and is decontaminated and neutralized of impurities before entering the occupied enclosed space.

A personal sanitizing device includes an eyewear frame and one or more UV-C sources attached to a lower edge of the eyewear frame for directing UV-C energy in a downward direction from the eyewear frame. The one or more UV-C sources are configured for sanitizing air in proximity of a mouth and/or a nose of a wearer of the personal sanitizing device. The personal sanitizing device also includes a battery configured for powering the one or more UV-C sources.

An air breathing device includes a casing and an air passage cavity encompassed by the casing. The device includes a set of air intake ports and air discharge ports that connect the air passage cavity to the outside of the casing. The device includes a set of dampers that allow the air to flow into the air passage cavity during inhalation through the air intake ports. The device includes a set of dampers that allow the air to exit the air passage cavity during exhalation through the air discharge ports. The device includes a retractable display screen to display content to the wearer. The device includes a fixed display screen to display images of the mouth of the wearer captured by a camera lens or simulated based on captured voice of the wearer. The device includes UV lights, filters, network connections, camera lenses, speakers, microphones, ear plugs, and heating coils.

A virus elimination assembly for sterilizing air includes a base that is hollow. An intake vent is pivotally coupled to the base to direct air into the base. A canister is coupled to the base and the canister is in fluid communication with an interior of the base. A filter tray is slidably positioned in the canister and a filter is integrated to pass air therethrough. A blower tray is slidably positioned in the canister and a blower is integrated therein to blow air when the blower is turned on. A light tray is slidably positioned in the canister and a light emitter is integrated therein to eliminate viruses and bacteria. An exhaust vent is pivotally integrated into the canister to direct the air that has been sanitized by the light emitter out of the exhaust vent.

A positive and negative oxygen ion air purification system uses dielectric barrier discharge for rail transport. The system includes: an air intake device including a first damper and second damper, wherein the first damper is in communication with the second damper; an evaporator disposed within the air intake device, wherein gas flowing through the first damper and second damper passes through the evaporator; a purification device, wherein gas flowing through the first damper and second damper passes through the purification device, wherein the purification device includes a mounting plate, a power supply module and an ion generation module, the purification device is disposed on the air intake device by the mounting plate, and the power supply module includes an input end, a transformer, and an output end; a detection device; and a control device connected to the detection device, the air intake device and the purification device.

A bedside airborne pathogen control apparatus and system. A bedside airborne pathogen control apparatus and system may include an air treatment unit configured to be selectively coupled to a first surface of a hospital bed (e.g., a headboard, a footboard, or a side rail), an air terminal configured to be selectively coupled to a second surface of the hospital bed (e.g., the headboard, the footboard, or the side rail), and a flexible duct extending between the air treatment unit and the air terminal, wherein the flexible duct is configured to deliver a supply of air from an air outlet of the air treatment unit to the air terminal. The air treatment unit and the air terminal may be configured to establish a flow of air around the hospital bed to reduce the dissemination of airborne pathogens from an occupant of the hospital bed.

A component for a vehicle interior configured to dispense scent in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a scent-dispensing apparatus comprising a module configured for at least one scent-dispensing cartridge (removable/replaceable) containing scent media. An actuator may be configured to operate the module in a bypass mode or for selection/actuation of a cartridge. A selected cartridge may be actuated from a sealed state to prevent airflow through scent media to an unsealed state to allow airflow across/through scent media and into the vehicle interior. The actuator may comprise a mechanism (e.g. slider, cam mechanism); each cartridge may comprise a valve mechanism actuated by the actuator; each mechanism may comprise a spring. The module may comprise a fan to provide airflow. The component may provide a user interface. The component may comprise a console, overhead console, floor console, center console, etc.

An odor mitigating caddy includes first and second frame members each having opposed front and rear edges, respective rear edges being pivotally coupled together with a living hinge such that the frame members are selectively movable between a closed configuration at which the front edges, respectively, are generally adjacent one another and an open configuration at which the front edges, respectively, are separated from one another. The first and second frame members are defined by peripheral edges and include first and second grate members extending between respective peripheral edges, respectively. A porous odor mitigating sheet is held between the frame and grate members. First and second frame members include aligned first and second hook members so that the caddy is selectively suspended from a closet rod or the like.

A deodorizing device for a toilet that includes: a housing; an oil container within the housing; an attachment means at the top of the housing; a container release point at the bottom of the oil container; tubing extending from the container release; and a release orifice at a distal end of the tubing. The attachment means may include hooks, where the hooks secure the housing onto a toilet tank. The oil container is preferably a capsule like device that is detachable from the housing. The deodorizing device may further include a toilet connector, where said toilet connector connects the tubing to the underside of a toilet seat.
