- WHO director-general warns COVID-19 is “most certainly not over”
- KNOS building reputation for effective, advanced, state-of-the-art air filtration and purification systems
- Company also offers Kronos(R)-designed graphene N95 face masks made in U.S. at NIOSH-certified facility
While mask mandates have been lifted and life appears to be returning to normal in many places around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is “most certainly not over,” reported Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization (https://nnw.fm/XD7It). The need for continued vigilance has spurred many companies, including Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS), that are working to provide people with protection against the deadly virus and its variants.
The warning came, reported U.S. News & World Report, “despite a decline in reported cases since the peak of the omicron wave. [Tedros] told governments that ‘we lower our guard at our peril.’” The report noted that the head of WHO, while opening the organization’s annual meeting in Geneva, said “that ‘declining testing and sequencing means we are blinding ourselves to the evolution of the virus.’ He also noted that almost 1 billion people in lower-income countries still haven’t been vaccinated.”
In a weekly report on the global situation, “WHO said the number of new COVID-19 cases appears to have stabilized after weeks of decline since late March, while the overall number of weekly deaths dropped,” the article continued. “While there has been progress, with 60% of the world’s population vaccinated, ‘it’s not over anywhere until it’s over everywhere,’ Tedros said. ‘Reported cases are increasing in almost 70 countries in all regions, and this in a world in which testing rates have plummeted.’”
Kronos Advanced Technologies has built a reputation for offering some of the most effective, advanced, state-of-the-art air filtration and purification systems available. The proprietary Kronos(R) systems fully remove harmful allergens, bacteria, viruses (including the flu) and even gasses from indoor breathing spaces, including healthcare and other settings.
In addition to air filtration systems, Kronos also offers Kronos(R)-designed graphene N95-compatible face masks made in the United States at a NIOSH-certified facility (https://nnw.fm/WhFEb). Kronos recently announced test results from Nelson Labs demonstrating significantly enhanced bacterial filtration efficiency (“BFE”) and viral filtration efficiency (“VFE”). According to the update, Kronos’ designed and U.S.-manufactured 5-ply graphene face masks remove 99.9% of bacteria and virus particles, compared to the common and far less efficacious ASTM level 3 mask. The company believes that, with BFE and VFE levels over 99.9%, these are the highest filtration efficiency numbers for any face masks in the market.
“Our goal is to provide the best available protective face masks on the market for those in higher-exposure risk environments, with the best technology available,” said Kronos CEO Michael Rubinov (https://nnw.fm/S7AB5). “Our Kronos graphene technology achieves this not only as of the highest protection properties but also by completely reducing the number of viable bacteria and virus particles that are able to pass through the mask materials to zero.”
Kronos’ patented medical-grade technology is tested as the most-effective, clean-air solution on the market. Kronos filters particles down to .0146 micron (.0146μm), much smaller than the 3 microns (0.3μm) of a traditional HEPA filter. Kronos not only collects but destroys air pollutants; the company’s Kronos AIR 5G(R) Air Purifiers use about 30,000 volts inside to actively destroy 99.99% of all airborne bacteria, mold, and virus particles. The Kronos face mask is the only five-ply graphene mask made in the United States.
Kronos Advanced Technologies is exploring broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices, including schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and automobiles and commercial aircraft cabins.
