“I became really interested when I realized that the technology at LightAir had evidence from a seven-year independent study led by the Karolinska Institute,” says Mattias Wahlgren, Group Innovation Manager at Coor, which has about thirty subscriptions for LightAir air purifiers and virus inhibitors in a variety of office environments and meeting rooms.

Because they subscribe to the packages, they do not have to worry about maintenance or operations. LightAir handles everything.

Doesn’t just remove viruses

Wahlgren says that many of those he talks to about the technology see the virus inhibitor as a COVID-19 killer. But he believes that an even greater value is in how well it works against other viruses, both the traditional cold and new variants of SARS, for example. Research reports have shown how the technology neutralizes viruses by attacking their protein shells, preventing  them to enter and infect human cells.

The offer, LightAir Health⁺, also includes high-efficiency air purifiers, which filter out as much as 99.9 percent of all harmful bacteria, microbes, mold spores, allergens and other particles in the air that make people feel tired and unwell.

“The market is flooded with products that claim to provide clean air, even free from viruses. But very few have convincing scientific evidence,” says Wahlgren, and points out that productivity in the workplace is primarily determined by the number of sick days and how alert the staff is when at work .

Can be a tough season 21/22

Not everyone will be infected. Immunity and other mitigating factors cause some to be less affected by influenza and different types of viruses. But this year, many have been uninfected for a long time, which means that more people are at risk of being affected.

We see examples of this among children. RS virus is thriving right now since the population’s immunity is lower than average. This virus had an early start to the season and then increased very rapidly.

According to the latest information from the Swedish Public Health Agency, it is too early to say how the flu season will develop. But with the double protection that air purifiers antiviral technology provide, you can prevent the air in the workplace from contributing to the spread of infections.
