Along with EOL's demonstration of Tree(tm) air purification devices at the Exhibition, Dr. V. G. Yuzbashev, Lead Researcher Disinfection Research Institution Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, will present his paper "The Technology and Equipment for Air Disinfection in Hospitals." His paper will include a comparison of technologies to disinfect intra-hospital infections while explaining the benefits of the Kronos-based Tree(tm) air purification device. In conjunction with his talk, he will present a Tree(tm) device.
The introduction of the Tree(tm) at the Symposium follows on the recent release of a clinical study showing the effectiveness of the Tree(tm) air purification device in decontaminating hospital rooms of airborne bacteria and mildew, including the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) which recently has become known as a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. The study further concluded that the Tree(tm) air purification device is safe to use while patients are present.
