Cerafusion tech for clean air 

Thailand's air pollution problems, especially those concerning PM 2.5, could be tackled with a new technology, called Cerafusion.

Medklinn, a Malaysian-based HealthTech company, has  introduced this  new clean air technology for both air and surface sterilisation.

Cerafusion is tested scientifically to eliminate 99.9% of all known bacteria, viruses, germs, allergens, according to Kris Konokvaliwongse, CEO of Medklinn Thailand.

“We are proud of to be associated with Medklinn brand as Cerafusion is a highly sustainable technology that is proven in the real-world environoment. Many of our customers from the healthcare, hospitality and F&B industries have deployed Cerafusion, and many more to come.”

According to Daniel Lu, chief technology and innovation officer of Medklinn International, Cerafusion has proven to be highly effective and efficient in improving the overall ventilation and indoor air sterilization in Germany conducted by The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, one of the world’s leading applied research organisations.

Since late 2021, Cerafusion technology has been deployed at cinemas with over 2,274 seats in Germany.

Key features of Medklinn air and surface sterilization technology are scientifically proven against allergens, pathogens, and pollutants; operate 24/7 protection; safe and chemical-free; wide coverage area; and minimal maintenance by replacing cartridge annually.

PM 2.5 is known as Particular Matter 2.5  micrometres which is smaller than the width of a human hair or average 70 micrometres, can pose serious health problems as a result of chemical reaction of toxic gaseous, mineral dust or water that suspended in the air.

The smaller inhalable particles can penetrate deeply into human lungs and enter your bloodstream. Health effects include cardiovascular effects such as cardiac arrhythmias and heart attacks and respiratory effects such as asthma attacks and bronchitis, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer.

In  the past years, air pollution in Thailand is seasonal depending on forest fires and waste burning which are common in the dry season in the Northern part of Thailand. It was earlier reported that the hazardous levels of PM2.5 in Chiang Mai reached peak of 310 microgrammes per cubic metre of air.
