Summary of tests and studies performed by accredited labs and universities – funded and conducted by clients to assure third party credibility.
H1N1 (Swine Flu)
Kansas State University has completed preliminary testing on Guardian Air’s Photohydroionization (PHI-Cell®) and Reflective Electromagnetic Energy (REME® Cell) technologies with 99+% inactivation of H1N1 Swine Flu on a stainless steel surface. Further tests are scheduled. 2009 H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus spread from person-to-person worldwide. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organisation (WHO) signalled that a pandemic of 2009 H1N1 flu was underway. Spread of 2009 H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching items – such as a surface or object – with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Tested by Kansas State University Inactivation Rate 99+% 
Avian influenza (Bird Flu)
Avian influenza is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These influenza viruses occur naturally among birds. Of the few avian in- fluenza viruses that have crossed the species barrier to infect humans, H5N1 has had the largest number of detected cases of severe disease and death in humans.

Norwalk Virus
Noroviruses are a group of related, single-stranded RNA, nonenveloped viruses that cause acute gastroenteritis in humans. Noroviruses are highly contagious and as few as 10 viral particles may be sufficient to infect an in- dividual. 50% of all food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis can be attributed to noroviruses. Chicago schools realized a 20% improvement in attendance after installing Guardian Air’s PHI Technology.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxi- cillin. Guardian Air participated, along with a major hospital, in a two year study evaluating PHI Technology which resulted in a 33.4% reduction in infections.

Streptococcus Sp.
Group A Streptococcal (strep) infections are caused by group A streptococ- cus, a bacterium responsible for a variety of health problems. Source: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Tested by Kansas State University Inactivation Rate 96+% 
Pseudomonas Sp.
The bacterial genus Pseudomonas includes plant pathogenic bacteria such as P. syringae, the opportunistic human pathogen P. aeruginosa, the ubiqui- tous soil bacterium P. putida, and some species that are known to cause spoilage of unpasteurised milk and other dairy products.

Listeria
This is a Gram-positive bacterium, motile by means of flagella. Some studies suggest that 1-10% of humans may be intestinal carriers of L. monocyto- genes. Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration Tested by Kansas State University Steris Labs KAG / Eco Labs Inactivation Rate 99+% |

Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli, usually abbreviated to E. coli, discovered by Theodor Es- cherich, a German pediatrician and bacteriologist, is one of the main species of bacteria that live in the lower intestines of mammals, known as gut flora.

Bacillius Globigii
Bacillus globigii lives in soils around the world and can readily be found in samplings of wind-borne dust particles. It is also known as Bacillus subtilis, its more modern name.

Staphylococcus Aureus
Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as "staph," is a bacteria com- monly found on the skin and in the nose of people. Person-to-person trans- mission is the usual form of spread and occurs through contact with secretions from infected skin lesions, nasal discharge or spread via the hands.

Clostridium difficile (C-Diff)
Many hospitals have been waiting for more information on C-Diff bacteria as it may be as big a problem or bigger than MRSA. Independent university studies tested Guardian Air’s REME Technology with 99% kill rate.

Streptococcus Pneumoniae
S. pneumoniae is an exclusively human pathogen and is spread from per- son-to-person by respiratory droplets, meaning that transmission generally occurs during coughing or sneezing to others within 6 feet of the carrier. Health experts estimate that more than 10 million mild infections (throat and skin) like these occur every year.

Stachybotrys chartarum
Stachybotrys is a greenish-black fungus found worldwide that colonizes par- ticularly well in high-cellular material, such as straw, hay, paper, dust, lint, and cellulose-containing building materials such as fiber board and gypsum board that become chronically moist or water damage due to excessive hu- midity, water leaks, condensation or flooding.

Mold/Yeast
The purpose of this test was to evaluate the effect the Guardian Air AOT unit has on mold/yeast bacteria (TPC). This test was performed utilizing a standard 2000 sq. ft. home and 3000 sq. ft. simulated home. Tested by California Microbiology Center Reduction % Bacteria 99% Mold 97- 98% Yeast 90+% |

Odours
The purpose of this test was to evaluate to what effect the Guardian Air’s AOT unit has on cleaning chemicals, pet odours, smoke and perfume odours. This test was performed utilizing two 500 cubic foot test chambers and a ten-person odour panel. The qualitative assessments of the ten-person odours panel were then used as a means to determine the odour reduction. Tested by C&W Engineering (Independent PE Firm) Reduction % Cleaning chemicals 55+% Pet odours 72% Perfume odours 63+% Smoke odours 70% |

Formaldehyde
The purpose of this test was to evaluate the effect the Guardian Air AOT unit has on formaldehyde. Tests were conducted in a Class II Bio test chamber by Kansas State University |
