Beyond CES: Air Quality Products on the Rise
After exploring the impressive air quality innovations at CES 2024, it’s clear the industry is making strides towards healthier indoor environments, but CES isn’t the only platform for new air quality products. Other players in the market are also delivering innovative solutions to enhance indoor air quality with cutting-edge technology.
1. AURA Ion Bar
The AURA Ion Bar is a game-changing innovation that’s set to redefine the way we think about indoor air quality. Unlike traditional purifiers that clean the air after 20-30 minutes, this revolutionary device creates an entirely new category- it blocks contaminants before they have a chance to enter your space! With its dual-protection system, it creates a germicidal barrier using a gentle air curtain infused with Negative Air Ions (NAIs).
These powerful NAIs effectively block and reduce the transfer of COVID-19 by a staggering 99.98%. The goal is to replace plastic shields with germ-eliminating air, creating a safe environment to bring people back together. When it comes to stopping the spread of COVID between two people, Ion Bar has been shown to provide a staggering 100x more protection than an N95 mask.
Picture this: an Ion Bar installed above the checkout of a cafe, ensuring the safety of both workers and customers by shielding them from contaminated air. Now, you can enjoy your favorite cafe with peace of mind, knowing that your indoor air quality is protected. And, because Ion Bar is whisper-quiet, you and the barista can enjoy natural interactions without a plastic wall separating you.
The AURA Ion Bar is here to revolutionize your indoor air experience. Read more about Ion Bar here.
