What are you doing for Indoor Air Quality to address safety?


The Problem:

Aerosols are being considered by many health officials as a mode of infection transmission. Viral particles can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and can be inhaled. It is critical to have disinfected air to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. 

The Solution:

Air Ionization Technology is proven to Reduce Coronavirus Surrogate by 99% Airborne and 80% on Surfaces in 10 Minutes.  Air Ionization Technology is highly efficient, cost-effective, and easy to install. Jackson Control offers multiple products that incorporate this technology.

 Why Air Ionization:

  • Ion Blocks Are UL Listed

    • UL 2998

    • UL 867

  • Cost-Effective

    • Most economical solutions to clean air

    • Minimal energy cost, and in many cases an energy-saving investment

  • Easy Installation

    • Can be mounted in any HVAC system regardless of the size or type

    • Low voltage, means a facility manager can perform the installation without an electrical contractor

  • Low Maintenance

    • 5 Year warranty only from Jackson Control

    • Simply wipe the ionization brushes whenever the HVAC air filter is changed

  • Wipes the Air Clean

    • Neutralizes Odors, Allergens, Bacteria, Viruses, Mold Spores, VOCs

    • Removes contaminants and odors from the air

  • The Ion Blocks Do Not Emit Ozone

How it Works:

Ion Blocks are mounted in the central air conditioning system of any building. As air passes over the ion blocks, millions of positively and negatively charged ions are formed – just like in nature. These bipolar ions disperse into the occupied space through the duct system, proactively attacking airborne contaminants where they cause the most problems for occupants.

The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are missing an electron resulting in an unstable condition. In an effort to re-stabilize, these bipolar ions seek out atoms and molecules in the air to trade electrons with, effectively neutralizing particulate matter, bacteria and virus cells, odorous gases and aerosols, and VOCs

Air ionization is safe, low maintenance, easy-to-install, energy efficient, and highly effective on pollutants such as particulate matter, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, odors, and VOCs.

What We Know Today:

Effective Air Ionization Utilizes Existing Ventilation & Filtration Systems

  • Ion blocks generation an  ionization cloud that covers the entire space and all occupants 

COVID- 19 Virus is Too Small for HEPA Filters 

  • HEPA Filters catch particles .3 microns or larger

  • Anything less than .2 microns is not visible to the naked eye

  • COVID-19 is .125 microns

COVID-19 Transfers Primarily through Aerosols in Indoor Spaces

  • UV Lighting disinfection is for surfaces 

Air Ionization is the Best Answer to Fight COVID-19

  • HEPA Filters can’t catch the virus

  • UV Lighting will not work to kill airborne virus

  • Air Ionization = Opposites Attract

  • Virus is a positive Ion, during bipolar ionization, negative ions attach to the positive ions (virus, bacteria, allergens) and break down the membrane, neutralizing the virus

About the Technology:

Air ionization, also refer to as “negative ionization”, “bipolar ionization”, and “needlepoint ionization” is not a new technology, in fact, it first arrived in the US in the 1970s as a tool to control pathogens in food manufacturing.

Air ionization technology is installed in thousands of commercial, institutional, residential and industrial buildings around the world such as:

  • Hospitals including Johns Hopkins, Children's Hospital Boston and the University of Maryland Medical Center

  • Terminals at LaGuardia, O'Hare, LAX, and San Francisco International Airport

  • TWA Hotel at JFK airport

  • Large workplaces such as Google's headquarters in Chicago and San Jose
