Do you remember the "Beghelli lifesaver", the timeless device for preventing domestic accidents and rescuing elderly people in difficulty? Here, now the Emilian company has adapted to the times and has developed a solution to eliminate the risk of contagion from Covid in closed environments, whether they are public places, schools or offices. There UV-C technology for air sanitization in indoor environments has already received the certification from the Department of Molecular Medicine of the University of Padua: after a series of analyzes it has in fact emerged that the Beghelli "SanificaAria" is able to reduce the risks of infections caused by infectious agents to approximately zero even viruses.
The discovery is still being examined by the scientific world, but it could represent a small turning point in the fight against the pandemic, especially for offices, schools, restaurants, bars, gyms, hospitals, industries, up to private homes. The device would therefore allow sanitize the air through a closed chamber system saturated with UV-C rays. Through the exclusive uvOxy® technology, used by Beghelli, the ultraviolet rays always remain confined within the flow cell of the fixture without coming into direct contact with people. And sanitization can therefore be continuous, 24 hours a day.
“The current pandemic – commented Paola Brun, researcher of the Department of Molecular Medicine of the University of Padua – has generated a strong interest in the microbiological quality of indoor air, which is now considered an important source of transmission for infectious agents. In fact, in addition to SARS-CoV-2, there are dozens of microorganisms that can be transmitted by air and that can be present in high concentrations in commonly used closed environments. Once the individual protection measures have been implemented, the microbiological control of the air in a room where an infected subject is present can also be guaranteed by UV-C devices coupled with forced ventilation systems to ensure complete mixing of the air".
"If used following the indications of operating modes and times, the devices equipped with forced ventilation and UV-C technology are capable of transporting any microbiological agents present in a room near the UV source where they are inactivated", concluded the expert. “The company has two fixed points in its DNA – he added Gian Pietro Beghelli, President of Beghelli group – which are the investment in research and the finalization of research for people's safety. The collaboration activated with the university world and the Polistudio company was born from this spirit, which allowed us an in-depth comparison with the academic and professional skills necessary for the functional analysis of our most recent product for air sanitization, both in public environments than in workplaces and at home".
