August 4, 2008—IQAir, a manufacturer of air purification systems, will provide the US Olympic Committee (USOC) with ultra-high efficiency air cleaning for American athletes at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to help create the optimum performance environment.
The project, dubbed “Operation Clean Air,” will utilize IQAir’s HealthPro Series room air purifiers in athletes’ bedrooms. For large training areas, IQAir has designed special facility-sized portable and installed air cleaning systems. IQAir will also be adding ultra high efficiency filtration to the heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) systems in buildings.
The air cleaning systems are tested and certified to filter ultra-fine particles down to 0.003 microns, smaller than the smallest virus. They are based on technology IQAir uses in hospitals around the world to filter particles as small as the SARS virus, MRSA, and tuberculosis.
In addition to eliminating ultra-fine particles, IQAir’s systems will also provide comprehensive gas and chemical filtration.
IQAir’s air cleaning systems are currently being stored in Beijing for installation and placement for the USOC later this month.
IQAir North America, Inc. is a member of the Swiss-based IQAir Group which has over 45 years experience in the design and manufacturing of ultra-high efficiency air purification systems. For more information, see the Web site.
