Provided are antimicrobial nonwovens comprising antimicrobial chemical treated fibers and untreated binder fibers. 0.0003-0.1 wt. % of one or more silver containing antimicrobial chemicals are used in nonwovens to provide an excellent antimicrobial/antiviral property. Exemplary applications and methods of manufacturing antimicrobial products such as a facial covering, a mattress cover, a surface cover and an air filter are provided.

A purification device for disinfecting and filtering intake air is disclosed. The purification device comprises a housing provided with a number of inlet perforations for allowing the intake air to enter the housing and a number of air outlet perforations for allowing air purified by the purification device to leave the housing. The purification device moreover comprises a fan arranged inside the housing to suck the intake air into the housing and blow the purified air out of the housing. The purification device further comprises an ultraviolet radiation lamp arranged inside the housing to irradiate the intake air. The purification device also comprises a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter arranged to filter the intake air before the intake air leaves the housing as purified air. The filter comprises a plurality of pleats arranged in such a manner that the angle between adjacent pleats is 30 degrees or less.

One embodiment of the purification system is the Base Support Frame A's ability to support a properly centered UVC light. Another embodiment is the Filter Frame B's ability to strengthen and hold in place a HEPA filter. In addition, locating the unit in the HVAC return ensures optimal air purification opportunities.

Disclosed are polyurethane-based foams. The foams may have one or more vicrucidal/bactericidal agents. The foams may be used as filters that capture and/or inactivate viral particles, such as, virions associated with COVID-19. Also described are methods of making the foams and methods of using the foams.

An air sterilization device, comprising: a main housing. A cavity for air circulation is provided in the main housing. The cavity is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet each is provided with a joint. A pulse flashing unit is provided in the cavity, which includes a charging circuit connected to an external power supply. A current output by the charging circuit sequentially passes through a capacitor and a discharging circuit, and then flows into an inert gas lamp.

An apparatus used to disinfect viruses/bacteria contaminated exhaust air from devices, such as ventilators, CPAP, APAP, VPAP auto, BiPAO, ECMO, and also devices for air filtration used in cars, buildings, ships, planes, etc. is disclosed in this document. A heat source is used to burn the contaminated air at elevated temperatures, such as 100° C., 500° C., 1,000° C., and/or even more, in a confined environment to inactivate/destroy viruses/bacteria carried in the air. The heat sources can be, but not limited to, electrical, gases, infrared, microwave, and Ultraviolet (UV). After disinfection, the exhaust air from the apparatus is then released to the ambient environment, or to the next chamber for further treatment.

An air purifier includes a housing, a filter unit and a sterilization unit. The housing has an air outlet and an air inlet under the air outlet. A filtering chamber is formed in the housing by the air outlet and the air inlet. The filtering chamber has a first chamber and a second chamber. The filter unit is disposed in the first chamber. The sterilization unit is disposed in the filtering chamber. A fan is disposed in the second chamber of the housing and over the sterilization unit. The fan is used for sucking air outside the housing, passing the air through the filter unit and the sterilization unit and emitting the air. This can accomplish an object of air purification.

The invention herein disclosed is a system that supports sampling, testing and filtering of air in selected small volumes of air within a larger air pool.

An air filtration system is provided. The system includes one or more air delivery pipes disposed above, and in fluid communication with, an occupiable space. The delivery pipe supplies clean air to the space through a plurality of air apertures disposed along a length of the air delivery pipe. The apertures are configured to provide a flow of air out of the air delivery pipe that is constant along the length of the air delivery pipe. A similar one or more air exhaust pipes are disposed below, and in fluid communication with, the occupiable space.

An air management system of a vehicle having a conditioned area includes at least one duct defining a flow path for delivering air to the conditioned area and a filter arranged within the at least one duct upstream from the conditioned area. The filter includes a filter media having at least one filter media layer including a plurality of fibers. A coating is applied to at least a portion of the plurality of fibers and the coating is operable to deactivate a microbe arranged in contact with the coating.
