PHOTOCATALYSIS: ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTION

The powerful oxidising force of the photocatalytic action of ACTIVE Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™ permits elimination of bacteria (according to standard ISO 27447), including a number of species which are particularly hazardous to human health: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Escherichia Coli is a bacterium which can cause food poisoning, with vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and even intestinal haemorrhage. It can also cause meningitis, peritonitis, septicemia and pneumonia, and is often the culprit in urinary tract infections.
Staphylococcus aureus causes infections of the skin, the respiratory system, the urinary apparatus, the skeleton and the central nervous system.
Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause bacterial pneumonia as well as urinary tract infections, and frequently lives and multiples in hospitals and clinics.

Photocatalysis does not kill directly the bacteria, but damage their cell walls irreparably and irreversibly so that they die.
