“NTP (non-thermal plasma ) technology in Squair products has been proven to be extremely effective in fighting germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi and mold,” say the inventors. “Thorough testing has given us a lot of confidence that a new way to fight germs and bacteria like salmonella, SARS and bird flu is born. Even staph bacteria, regarded as the most antibiotic-resistant bacteria known, have been eliminated by NTP.”
Does this product and its claims sound plausible or is this a gimmick. Anyone ever heard of using Cold Plasma to clean the air?
In the lab, at high doses… The question is whether you can tolerate it ?
No … Concentrations high enough kill all bacterias will also harm you.
I don’t see your mouth or eye membranes surviving “NTP” any better than a bacteria…
What is NTP anyway ? Plasma, as in “Thermal plasma” means “so hot that Its just ions… the atoms lose the electrons”… So NTP must be an ion technology…
Ion air cleaners have been around a while… they may help dust settle out of the air.
You can use ions to kill bacteria, but it also makes large sparks and burns all the equipment…
