A railway complex in Haifa – carried out an experiment on a double-decker train, with 26m length, with 2 x IA 1600
installed in one air conditioner on one side of the train (near Location A). The ion concentration was tested at several points on the train.
At the location (A), area deployed IA 1600, having optimal 15,000 ion/cm3 which is 10 times more than the other side (without deployment of IA 1600. High ion levels are proven to deactivate viruses*, bacteria, and mould.
*Proven in Independent Clinical Trials to remove 99% of SARS-COV-2, HINI, H5N1 etc.
