KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES INCREASED INVENTORIES OF THE COMPANY'S MODEL 8 AND MODEL 5 AIR PURIFIERS - Seite 2

"Now a team of virologists and aerosol scientists has produced exactly that: confirmation of infectious virus in the air.

"' This is what people have been clamoring for,’ said Linsey Marr, an expert in airborne spread of viruses who was not involved in the work. ‘It's unambiguous evidence that there is infectious virus in aerosols.’

"A research team at the University of Florida succeeded in isolating live virus from aerosols collected at a distance of seven to 16 feet from patients hospitalized with Covid-19 — farther than the six feet recommended in social distancing guidelines.

"The findings, posted online last week, have not yet been vetted by peer review, but have already caused something of a stir among scientists. ‘If this isn't a smoking gun, then I don't know what is,' Dr. Marr tweeted last week.

"But some experts said it still was not clear that the amount of virus recovered was sufficient to cause infection.

"The research was exacting. Aerosols are minute by definition, measuring only up to five micrometers across; evaporation can make them even smaller. Attempts to capture these delicate droplets usually damage the virus they contain.

"'It's very hard to sample biological material from the air and have it be viable,' said Shelly Miller, an environmental engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder who studies air quality and airborne diseases.

“’We have to be clever about sampling biological material so that it is more similar to how you might inhale it.'"

About Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc.

Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. began operations in 2002 as a product development company which invented and significantly changed the way air is moved, filtered and sterilized. Historically, Kronos has focused on developing, marketing, and selling the Company's proprietary air movement and  purification technology. Serving the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) market, Kronos technology uses state-of-the-art high voltage patented processes without the use of traditional porous HEPA filters. Kronos-based products move air silently, filter, sterilize and purify the air , while dramatically reducing energy consumption to half of a 60-watt light bulb. Kronos devices can be variable in shape or size, and, therefore, have the potential to be scaled-down for air purification in cars or scaled up in size for industrial and hazardous gas destruction. The technology is currently being implemented in multiple standalone products for business home and vehicles of all types to move sterilize and filter including  removing allergens to 14.6 nanometers passing through our patented technology from the air replacing expensive outdated passive HEPA and other filtration type systems. There are broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices. Examples of immediately addressable markets include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and the cabins of automobiles and commercial aircraft.
