Comments: Heating, air conditioning and circulation systems are regulated by the city of Los Angeles building code. Ultraviolet-C technology from UltraViolet Devices Inc. is used in all terminals to kill microorganisms that cause mold, bacteria and viruses. In Terminal 1, the airport also uses Genesis Air’s photocatalytic oxidation process, which captures and destroys airborne particles responsible for poor air quality. AtmosAir’s active bipolar ionization system is in Terminal 7. Plans to install the company’s ionization tubes and air monitoring technology in the Tom Bradley Terminal Midfield Satellite Concourse, which is nearing completion. When airflow goes over the AtmosAir ionization tube, it creates ions that sanitize the duct and flows into the space. The system takes out of the air everything people should not be breathing. AtmosSmart, the company’s integrated in-duct air monitoring system, connects to the AtmosAir bipolar ion units and adjusts the ion levels based on real-time air quality measurement. When completed, the new Midfield Concourse will include more than 1,000 active ionization tubes. While we do not have the precise number of air changes per hour, LAWA mechanical engineers believe the HVAC systems provide on average of 10 air changes per hour. Public restrooms? An estimated 15 air changes per hour. The airport pet relief rooms? 30 air changes per hour. https://www.latimes.com/travel/story/2020-09-25/how-clean-is-laxs-indoor-air, https://airportimprovement.com/article/los-angeles-int-l-improves-indoor-air-quality-customers-staff

In the wake of the COVID-19 disaster many are calling for a paradigm shift in how citizens and government officials think about the quality of the air we breathe indoors. This Clean Air Certificate lets you know that those who operate this building are thinking about the air that we breathe in this building. They have disclosed the ventilation performance of this building so that we all become educated and we never have another indoor infection disaster again.
