Protect your customers and your livelihood

• Indoor air is on average two to five times more polluted than the air outside. (1) 
• 73 people tested positive for COVID-19 after a night out at a single bar in Spain. (2) 
• In the UK alone, there are 18.2 million allergy sufferers, not including those suffering other respiratory related symptoms. This equates to 1 in 3 of the population, including an estimated 40% of children.
• Across Europe, 1000 cases of travel-associated Legionnaires’ disease were estimated in 2016. (3) 
• Massage treatements in spas can result in a 60 fold increase in the concentration of total volatile organic compounds, which can in turn lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders and memory impairment. (4)
• Hotels and resorts are particularly prone to Legionella outbreaks from nearby water sources and HVAC systems where Legionella can grow. (5)

A good reputation is hard won, and easily lost!

​The hospitality industry, with its high volume and mixing of customers, was hit particularly hard by the covid pandemic. To become more resiliant in the future, the industry must focus on increasing the safety of both customers and staff by protecting against germs spreading disease through the air and contaminated surfaces.

But it is not just the the dangerous spread of infections:

• Kitchen odours are made up of a whole cocktail of volatile chemical compounds. While these don't usually pose a direct health risk, many guests find a strong kitchen odour in restaurants or bars to be unpleasant. 
• A customers first contact is in the reception area. It is vitally important that their first impression is one of cleanliness and freshness and that the air is as pollution and allergen free as possible.
• Individual rooms that smell musty or of previous smokers are a serious turn off, simply giving them a quick spray is not a long term solution! Indeed, leading hotels around the world are finding an ever-growing opportunity in providing allergen and air pollution free hotel rooms for guests.

Unfortunately, until recently hospitality facilities have had limited options to improve their defences against the spread of disease, odours, and poor indoor air quality.

While in-room air filters were intitially considered promising candidates to reduce infection spread, the UK's SAGE committee quickly concluded that any real world improvement they offered would only be a very, very small fraction of that claimed for the filter itself, while at the same time, drawbacks such as increased noise, would be of concern.

Then along came Airora. ​ Airora is NOT an air filter, Airoa is a hydroxyl diffuser which is 1,000+ times more effective than improved ventilation or any type of filter.

​Airora works by molecular diffusion, independently of air movement, creating a 24/7 real time person to person infection barrier and within minutes, not hours, destroying all types of airborne germs throughout a room.

​And that's not all, Airora simultaneously destroys all types of harmful germs from exposed surfaces, neutralises allergens and removes gaseous pollution, irritants and odours!

Nothing else comes close!

Airora vs Filters

Based on research by the UK Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and others, Airora's technology is 1000+ times more effective, and far faster, than that of any in-room air filter.​

That might seem surprising given that filters often claim reductions of 99.95% or even greater. However, such claims are for the removal of germs between the input and output of the device, not for the removal of germs throughout a room. Novosec & Siegel 2009 suggest that circa 50%, rather than 99.95%, would be more accurate measured across a whole room!

Why the huge difference between SAGE's conclusions and the claims of filter manufacturers?

​The reason is simple; as the air in a room is constantly changing, and as by no means all of the air in the room at any one time will have passed through the filter, the efficiency of the filter itself has little bearing on the ability of a filter device to clean all of the air throughout a room.​

As Airora cleanses the air insitu, and works by molecular diffusion, it has none of the constraints that filters suffer from.

Public Health England measured Airora achieving a 99.9999% reduction in hard to kill airborne MS-2 virus in five minutes!

Simply put, Airora is the future of clean, safe indoor air
