Bornblum Jewish Community School in Memphis will be the first school in the U.S. to install a new type of air filter technology created by Dexwet Pure Air Filters to protect students, teachers, and staff from harmful airborne particles. On August 24, the President of Dexwet will demonstrate the patented filters and explain the study that showed the filters are proven to remove up to 99% of airborne dust, pollen, and nano-fine particles such as bacteria and viruses in a classroom within 2.4 hours.
Earlier this year, Dr. Peter Tappler, who serves as a leader in the Austrian Ministry of the Environment, led a month-long study of Dexwet filters at an elementary school in Vienna, Austria through his private institute. After examining over two million data points, the study concluded that Dexwet’s Pure Air Filters effectively captured particles and would be effective against capturing the airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
“Our Dexwet Pure Air Filters represent a new approach to capturing dangerous particles, viruses, and bacteria. We want to do everything within our power to help keep children and teachers healthy, and our filters are effective in filtering airborne particles” said Gregory Scott Newsome, Chief Financial Officer and Board Director of Dexwet Air Filters. “We look forward to bringing our clean air solution to schools and other public environments throughout the U.S.”
Dexwet’s innovative air filtration technology maintains superior airflow while filtering the entire classroom’s air volume every 48 minutes, proving it to be a practical, safe, quiet, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for classrooms around the world. The filters are engineered for easy installation on outflow vents where it is proven to improve air quality by 30% while capturing nano fine airborne particles without restricting airflow.
“Every family in our school community should have the peace of mind knowing that the school air environment is safe,” said Daniel R. Weiss, Head of School at Bornblum Jewish Community School. “We believe it is our duty to go a step further to protect our school community, and Dexwet has been proven to capture hazardous pathogens and improve indoor air quality. So, we are proud to bring this solution to our school.”
The filters are being installed at no cost by Dexwet into Bornblum’s classrooms, bathrooms, and the school office to celebrate Dexwet’s launch into the U.S. market. Bornblum earned a national reputation as a leading private school in dealing with the pandemic to create a safe environment to continue classes and is regularly consulted by other private schools and charter schools for advice on return-to-school issues.
Dexwet’s filters allow the highest air flow stream to pass through a patented staggered rod system. These rods are coated in a non-toxic oil solution to permanently capture airborne particles of all sizes while allowing pure, clean air to flow through, making them ideal for classrooms and any other shared enclosed rooms. Dexwet’s innovative wet filter design is also sustainable, as they are entirely silent, require no energy, and can be washed annually for reuse.
Dexwet currently has more than 60 patents worldwide and is widely sold for consumer use in Europe. For more information about Dexwet Air Filters, visit www.dexwetholding.com.
