Evaluate the safety of a novel photohydrolysis technology used to clean and disinfect indoor air: A murine study.

ABSTRACT: There is a pressing need to develop new technologies that continuously eliminates harmful pollutants and pathogens in occupied indoor spaces without compromising safety. This study was undertaken to test the safety of a novel air cleaning and disinfection technology called Advanced Photohydrolysis. Advanced Photohydrolysis generates a complex mixture of ions and molecules that are released into the air and has been shown to reduce airborne and surface pathogens. Mice (6-8-week-old) were exposed to therapeutic levels of Advanced Photohydrolysis for 90-days. During the study, the Advanced-Photohydrolysis-exposed and control mice were monitored for food consumption, body weight gain, and any overt adverse effects. In addition, at the conclusion of the study, the blood chemistry and hematology
