Abstract
A method for protecting an exposed surface in an enclosed space, such as a building, medical room, manufacturing space or consultation room, from harmful airborne agents. Airborne agents are charged by exposure to an electrostatically-charged cloud and an electrostatically-charged field is created for electrostatically manipulating the harmful airborne agent away from or toward the exposed surface for protecting the exposed surface from the harmful airborne agent. The harmful airborne agent may be collected on a charged surface, and destroyed by ultraviolet light.
Claims16
A method for protecting a disease transmitting surface from infectious airborne agents, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. generating a plurality of charged particles in a charged particle source for producing an electrostatically-charged cloud and charging said infectious airborne agents by exposure to said electrostatically-charged cloud for forming a plurality of charged infectious airborne agents;
- and
- b. electrostatically manipulating said infectious agents away from said disease transmitting surface for protecting said surface from said infectious agents.
