Airborne Virus Elimination Rate
Viruses can stay in the air on oating particles or
droplets from coughs and sneezes, or carried in
from outside. The OxyPure easily removes these
pathogens, helping to protect you and your family.
Inuenza A H3N2 is a variant of the 2009 H1N1
pandemic virus. It was rst identied in pigs in
2010 and then in people in July 2011. Also known
as swine inuenza, outbreaks occur during the
late fall and winter months with symptoms such
as fever/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy
nose, muscle/body aches, headaches, fatigue,
and vomiting and diarrhea (primarily in children).

Airborne Bacteria and
Mold Elimination Rates
Airborne bacteria are introduced by coughing
or sneezing, while mold can be carried in from
outside or grow due to moisture.
Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis),
is a round-shaped bacteria primarily found on the
skin, where it can cause skin conditions such as
Acne Vulgaris. However, it is also a major cause
of medical implant infections (especially in pe-
ripheral and central intravenous catheters), in-
ammation of the chest cavity (Mediastinitis) and
bacterial blood infections (Bacteremia).
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
PMC4184040/)
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a round-
shaped bacteria found on the skin and in the
throat, nose, and sinuses. It spreads through
human-to-human contact, as well as by sneezing
or coughing and stays viable for weeks, making
it a common cause of infections like sinusitis
and acne, pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis,
endocarditis, bacteremia, sepsis and MRSA.

PMC4451395/)
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a rod-shaped coli-
form bacterium normally found in the lower intes-
tines of people and animals. While most strains of
E. coli are harmless, some cause food poisoning
and diarrhea, urinary tract and respiratory infec-
tions, and other illnesses.
(https://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/general/index.html)
Aspergillus niger (A. niger) is one of fteen
black-spored strains of the Aspergillus mold.
Indoors it’s often mistaken for the harmful Stachy-
botrys. The spores can become airborne, and are
occasionally inhaled. For those with compromised
immune systems, this can cause sinus and lung
infections called Aspergillosis, with symptoms
including fever, wheezing, shortness of breath,
and cough.

Did you know...?
When you cough, you expel enough air to ll a 1.5 liter container
in a plume that extends several feet and carries some 3,000
droplets of mucus, saliva and other material at speeds of up
to 50 miles per hour! That’s nothing, though, compared to a
sneeze.
When you sneeze, those 3,000 droplets will increase to as
many as 40,000, mostly less than 10 microns across, travelling
at speeds that can exceed 200 miles per hour. They can travel
over 8 feet and up to 20 feet into the air, high enough to get into
ventilation systems.
This is why a good air purier like the OxyPure is so important,
especially during cold and u season. Clean air is the rst step
to good health.
