How Fresh Air Fights Infections such as Flu and Coronavirus

You might think that going outside in the cold makes you more likely to ‘catch a cold’. But in fact, colds, the flu and COVID-19 spread much more easily inside.

How are infections such as Flu and Coronavirus spread?

Both flu (and the common cold) and Coronaviruses such as COVID-19 are caused by viruses, which are spread through exposure to respiratory secretions (i.e. an infected person’s sneezes or coughs). The virus can be spread through the air, personal contact (such as a handshake), or by touching contaminated objects.

How long do typical viruses remain infectious?

Virus	Hard Surfaces e.g. door handle	Hands	Indoor Air
COVID-19 (Coronavirus)	Up to 168 hours	Several hours	Up to 16 hours
Colds	Up to 24 hours	More than an hour	Up to 45 minutes
Flu	Up to 24 hours	Up to 10 minutes	Several hours
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) (cold-like virus that can cause serious illness in children)	Up to 6 hours	Up to 30 minutes	Several hours
Parainfluenza (causes croup)	Up to 10 hours	Up to 10 minutes	Transmission unlikely

 

As you can see, viruses can remain dangerous for up to a week – and people can shed huge numbers of viruses into the air which can in turn settle onto surfaces: 

Coughing  Sneezing  Talking / Singing  Vomiting  Shed by Diarrhoea into the air

Nature’s outdoors remedy - Hydroxyls

However, outdoors, you’re much less likely to catch a virus. That’s because Hydroxyl Radicals, which occur naturally and abundantly in the air outside, kill ALL harmful viruses, bacteria and moulds, both in the air and on surfaces, on contact.

Hydroxyl Radicals are commonly known as ‘Nature’s Detergent’, and they are why you remain far safer from infection outdoors than indoors, where Hydroxyl Radicals are mostly absent.

Airora brings the Outdoors, Indoors

While Hydroxyl Radicals are abundant outdoors, they are mostly absent indoors.

A recent comprehensive review by the University of East Anglia of a wide a range of filter types, in applications ranging from air conditioning to portable units, found no evidence that such filter devices prevent transmission of respiratory or gastrointestinal diseases.

Unlike filters, Airora’s unique technology creates a natural molecular cascade of Hydroxyl Radicals that spreads throughout an entire room in seconds, independent of air movement, destroying or neutralising all types of germs and harmful common pollutants, both in the air and on surfaces on contact.

Airora’s patented technology achieves this by replicating natural outdoor air chemistry, which makes it intrinsically people-safe - so you can use it 24/7 to continuously maintain a healthy and fresh indoor environment.
