June 11, 2020 COUNTY BOARD NARRATIVE
Item 4. The Health Director, Sara Wartman will provide a COVID-19 Update.
Testing in Bayfield County will take place this Thursday Red Cliff and next
Thursday and Friday in Drummond and Iron River.
Item 5. As a top priority in Bayfield County we have assembled Broadband
providers in Bayfield County and the State Broadband Director to discuss with us
two main questions:
A. What can Broadband providers do to improve coverage in the county?
B. What can Bayfield County do to improve coverage in the county?
The State director has invited Centurylink, Charter/Spectrum, Norvado and
Bayfield Wireless Representatives.
Item 6: Letters to the nine departments reporting to the Exec Committee (Clerk,
Clerk of Court, DA, Treasurer, ROD, Maintenance, IT, Coroner and Admin) were
sent out asking for them to present to the Executive Committee regarding 2021
budget plans. The DA has signed up for the June meeting.
Item 7. Attached is the Governors Routes to Recovery, local government aid
grant. Details have not been released but they did cite a focus on seven items
including
• Emergency operations
• PPE
• Isolation housing
• Testing
• FMLA and sick leave
• Meeting local match expenses
• Cleaning
Attached in the packet is the press release. I hope to have program details soon.
Item 8. We have examined several different proposals regarding building cleaning
/ disinfecting. These included:
• UV Light unit that could be moved offer to offer
• Misters, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
• Ionizers
Attached in the packet is an ionizing proposal, this is a device that would be
installed on our air handlers in the jail. It would be continuous air disinfection.
We believe this would qualify for some of the above funding as well. Will have a
more in-depth presentation at the meeting. We are strongly leaning towards this
option as it provides continuous cleaning.
Item 9. We have worked with a number of providers over the past six months
regarding a replacement Uninterruptible Power Supply for the server room. We
received several proposals for the project. We have selected an option that does
not require powering down the complex. We budgeted $36,500. The bid is
$49,115 a difference of $12,615.
Item 10. Our auditors have recommended updating our procurement policy. We
will have current and proposed drafts of the policy in the dropbox on Monday.
Item 11. At the last meeting the committee saw a letter from the Tavern League
asking for a reduction in licenses. The Exec Committee previously acted on
extended timelines for the 2020/2021 licensing and no late fee penalties.
The Health Committee reviewed this item as their May meeting and supported
the extended timelines and no late fee penalty but not the pro-rating. One of the
reasons was the complexity of establishments, many are seasonal and were not
open, many continued to operate, some served food, etc. The 2020/2021 fee is
for the year beginning June 2020.
Item 13.
a. Funding for a regional refrigeration truck.
b. An update on Pigeon Lake, water levels rising still, new 8” lift added by
highway.
c. 2021 Budget Planning: Direction letter sent out.
d. Financial Report, end of May attached
e. Treasurer’s Report, end of May attached.
f. I will share a ytd Covide Expenditure report at the meeting.

Minutes of the
Bayfield County Executive Committee Meeting
4:00pm, May 14, 2020
Meeting was held Remotely, with phone and/or video access for members and
the public.
Members Present: Jeff Silbert, Mary Dougherty, Dennis Pocernich, Brett Rondeau, Fred
Strand, Larry Fickbohm
Members Excused:
Others Present: Mark Abeles-Allison, County Administrator; Kristine Kavajecz-Human
Resource Director; Jeremy Oswald, Mary Motiff, Sheriff Paul Susienka, Sara Wartman
Meeting Called to Order at 4:00pm by Rondeau.
Election of Chair and Vice Chair: Strand nominate Rondeau for Chair. Pocernich, Silbert
motion to close nominations and cast unanimous ballot for Rondeau as Chairman. Motion
Carried (6-0)
Strand nominate Silbert for Vice-Chair. Motion Pocernich, Dougherty to close
nominations and cast unanimous ballot for Silbert for Vice-Chairman. Motion Carried (6-
0)
Public Comment:
Approval of Minutes of April 9, 2020. Noted that strand voted yes to ordinance. Motion
Carried.
Investment Policy, Bayfield County Treasurer: Auditors have requested that the
county have an investment policy. Draft policy was included in the packet. County
Treasurer is comfortable with it. Abeles-Allison reviewed highlights of the policy.
Motion Silbert, Fickbohm to approve the investment policy as presented. Motion Carried
(6-0)
Public Health COVID-19 Update, Bayfield County Health: Bayfield County has zero
active COVID19 cases. 2 additional persons that had antibody tests that indicate they
likely had the virus. About 300 tests have been conducted with about 297 were negative.
Considering doing another testing event in Bayfield County in June. Safer at Home was
nullified yesterday so Health Departments are scrambling. Health Department is looking
2
at various options and would like input from the County Board. Wartman recommends
that the Emergency Declaration be extended because it makes the county eligible for
FEMA funding for the overtime associated with an outbreak. Clarification that there are 2
topics: Emergency Declaration and Emergency Order. Emergency Declaration expires
May 18. This is what is being recommended to be extended. Public Health has the
authority to enact certain orders that would impact a specific individual or business, but
will rely on action by the county board for more broad orders. It is recommended that no
orders be considered at this time and that the public be reassured that plan are in place to
address an outbreak and that the Health Department will continue to provide guidance.
Abeles-Allison reported that Ashland and Bayfield County Corporation Counsel met this
morning to discuss enforcement if an ordinance were to be enacted (local order). Bayfield
County would need to create an ordinance for enforcement of any order.
Executive Committee Ordinance Review: Overview was provided outlining the
directives of the Executive Committee. This was reviewed for the benefit of new
committee members. Language of the ordinance may need to be modified.
Update on Construction Projects: DHS, DA, HR, Jail: Abeles-Allison reported that
the DHS project is about 99% complete. The District Attorney/Judge office projects are
99% complete. HR Office project is primarily complete. The Jail renovation project is
estimated to be completed by the end of June. The Jail project is estimated to come in
over budget due to a proprietary piece of equipment that was much higher cost than
budgeted.
COVID-19 Purchases: Request for proposals was distributed for the purchase of
Jail/Courthouse Sanitizing Equipment. A summary of proposals was shared with the
committee. No recommendation was made. Sheriff, County Administrator, Maintenance
and Health will review the proposals. Partial reimbursement may be available through
FEMA.
Regional Housing Grant: $75,000 regional project. Bayfield County’s contribution is
requested at $6900. This would come from Contingency Funds. Contingency has a
current balance of approximately $44,000 available. Motion Silbert, Strand to approve
the use of contingency funds for the county’s $6,900 contribution to the Regional
Housing Grant program. Motion Carried (6-0)
WCA Policy Resolutions: Strand
Increase payments to towns with county forest plans to $2/acre per year.
3
Address mental health epidemic in county jails.
Support expansion of OARS program statewide.
Financial Incentives for Volunteer Emergency Responders.
Chronic Wasting Disease treatment, testing, management increases.
Increase funding for state conservation specific to chronic wasting disease.
Silbert shared two additional resoltions:
Expansion of Medicaid funding.
CAFO Moritorium ordinance for the State, establishment of State Study Committee
Motion Strand, Dougherty to forward these resolutions to the full county board for
consideration. Motion Carried (6-0)
a. Reports:
a. Tavern League Letter: Request asking the county to waive fees for 2020.
Comment was shared that fees could be considered to be pro-rated on the amount
of time that a business was closed.
b. Emergency Declaration: Board Chair has the authority to extend this, with
subsequent approval by the county board.
c. Bayfield County Fair: Motiff reported that a final decision on the Fair will be
made at the County Board. She shared several items that are being considered.
d. Act 185, Property Tax Initiative: State has issued a 90-day deferral option and
waiver of late fees. This will require municipal and county action to approve. The
county would be responsible for making settlement payments to municipalities
regardless. Only 3 counties have voted to do this so far and 30 have elected not to.
e. Pigeon Lake update: UW is looking for a buyer for this property, which has been
discussed at earlier meetings.
f. Budget Planning Meeting and Budget Survey: To take place on May 19. Budget
survey is due today.
g. Financial Report, end of April: Financials show revenues are very similar to this
same time in 2019. Expenditures overall are lower than this time last year because
all transfers have not yet been completed.
h. Treasurer’s Report and Cash Flow Analysis: Showing a balance about $2 million
more than 2019, partially due to the additional bonding for highway work.
Treasurer reports that interest rates have fallen. No concerns with cash flow at this
time.

FEDERAL GRANT FUNDED PROCUREMENT POLICY
As per Resolution 2020-14
Unless specifically prohibited by the granting authority, grants must be administered through a
written contractual agreement between the County and the party providing the service. All
purchases made with grant funds must comply with the terms and conditions of the grant and
this policy. If the grant requirements conflict with this policy, the County Administrator may
suspend those provisions of this policy only for the specific grant and for the duration of that
grant. The Department Head is responsible to comply with purchases covered by grant funds.
Uniform Grant Guidance issued by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
outlined the following procurement standards for all dollars applied to federal grant programs:
A. Micro Purchases (Items less than $3,000 $10,000):
Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar
amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (§200.67 Micro-purchase). To
the extent practicable, the non-Federal entity must distribute micro-purchases equitably among
qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotations if
the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable.
B. Small Purchases (Items between $3,000 and $150,000 $10,000-$250,000):
Small purchase procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for
securing services, supplies, or other property that do not cost more than the Simplified
Acquisition Threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be
obtained from two or more qualified sources. Any rates for placements set by the State of
Wisconsin or other Regulator will be used in lieu of obtaining quotations from other qualified
sources.
C. Large Purchases (Items greater than $150,000 $250,000):
Follow requirements under 1 (construction) or 2 (all other) below depending on applicability.
1. Sealed Bids for Construction Contracts: Note that a federally funded public works project
shall follow the lower dollar threshold requirements of Wisconsin Statutes 66.0901 and
59.52(29) outlined in the public works projects section above. Bids are publicly solicited and
a firm fixed price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder
whose bid, conforming to all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the
lowest in price.
In order for sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions should be present:
(i) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available;
(ii) Two or more responsible bidders are willing and able to compete effectively for the
business; and
(iii) The procurement lends itself to a firm fixed price contract and the selection of the
successful bidder can be made principally on the basis of price.
8-188
If sealed bids are used, the following requirements apply:
(i) Bids must be solicited from two or more known suppliers, providing them sufficient
response time prior to the date set for opening the bids, for state, local, and tribal
governments, the invitation for bids must be publically advertised;
(ii) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent
attachments, must define the items or services in order for the bidder to properly
respond;
(iii) All bids will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids, and
for local and tribal governments, the bids must be opened publicly;
(iv) A firm fixed price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts,
transportation cost, and life cycle costs must be considered in determining which bid is
lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior
experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and
(v) Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason.
2. Competitive Proposals for Other Contracts Greater than $150,000 $250,000: The technique
of competitive proposals is normally conducted with more than one source submitting an
offer, and either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement type contract is awarded. It is generally
used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. If this method is used,
the following requirements apply:
(i) Requests for proposals must be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their
relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals must be
considered to the maximum extent practical;
(ii) Proposals must be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources;
(iii) The non-Federal entity must have a written method for conducting technical
evaluations of the proposals received and for selecting recipients;
(iv) Contracts must be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most
advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered; and
(v) The non-Federal entity may use competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-
based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby
competitors' qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected,
subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is
not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional
services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services though A/E firms are a
potential source to perform the proposed effort.
D. Noncompetitive Proposals:
Procurement by noncompetitive proposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal
from only one source and may be used only when one or more of the following
circumstances apply:
8-188
(1) The item is available only from a single source;
(2) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting
from competitive solicitation;
(3) The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes
noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the non-Federal entity; or
(4) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate.

Cleaning Indoor Air using Bi-Polar Ionization Technology
Dr. Philip M. Tierno Jr., Professor of Microbiology and Pathology, New
York University School of Medicine
April 2017
Clean air, both outdoors and indoors, is an essential determinant of a healthy life and a person’s
well being.
Outdoor Air Quality OAQ): The federal government has made great progress towards cleaning
outdoor air since 1970 via the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its additional amendments signed into
law in 1990. This Act resulted in a significant 70% reduction of aggregate emissions of six
representative indicators of common pollutants between the years of 1970 to 2014! Thusly, the
CAA laws define the EPA’s responsibilities for protecting and improving the nation’s outdoor air
quality utilizing the advances in science and technology to accomplish this task (1). These
outdoor air quality improvements have enabled many areas of the country to meet national air
quality standards set to protect public health and the environment. To simply summarize: for
more than 40 years the CAA has significantly cut outside air pollution even as the U.S. economy
has grown. Because of the act, Americans breathe less outdoor air pollution and face lower
premature death and other adverse health effects (1).
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Despite public health awareness and progress on outdoor air
pollution, progress on indoor air pollution has significantly lagged behind. The quality of air
inside homes, offices, schools, day care centers, hospitals and other health care facilities (where
multi-drug resistant bacteria reside), as well as other private and public buildings where people
spend a large part of their life, is also an essential determinant of health and well being.
Interestingly, indoor air quality is profoundly important for two main reasons. First, most
Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors! Second, the EPA has reported that indoor air
pollution is 25 to 100 times worse than the outdoor air. However there are some standards for
indoor air. For example, if you work with certain chemicals, sprayed substances, powders or
known carcinogens or allergens, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), the
EPA of the workplace, requires employers to reduce risk for workers (2). The EPA has also
developed some additional IAQ tools for schools (3). Certainly also the WHO (World Health
Organization) has a long tradition in synthesizing the evidence on the health aspects of air
quality and in providing air quality guidelines defining conditions for healthy air (4). IAQ is a
term, which refers to air quality within as well as around buildings and structures, especially as
it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants (5). IAQ is affected by gases (such as carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulates, microbes
(including bacteria, viruses and mold fungi), allergens, odors of a variety of types, and anything
else that might affect the quality of the air.
How We Make Each Other Sick: There are available techniques for cleaning indoor air, but in
order to better understand these options it is imperative to first discuss the dynamics of how we
make each other sick. The great majority of human infections, about 80%, are transmitted by
direct and indirect contact, and the remaining 20% of infections are transmitted by 3 other
modalities, namely, common source (contaminated food or drink), arthropod vectors (such as
1
mosquitoes and ticks), and true airborne droplets (particles 5 micrometers or less, which is 5
millionths of a meter in size, and which do not readily drop to the affect of gravity. Infections
such as tuberculosis, SARS and influenza can be spread in this way) (6).
Contact Spread: For contact spread the perspective host must have actual contact with the
source of germs. Such contact can be direct, indirect or via aerosol droplets. An easy to
understand example of direct contact is shaking hands or kissing someone who has a cold,
which can easily spread that cold virus to you. Coughing, sneezing or talking (are aerosols
which usually spread within a few feet from the source and the victim) in the face of another
person in close proximity can also spread their germs directly to that person. On the other hand,
indirect contact spread is distinguished from direct contact transmission by an intermediate
object, usually an inanimate object (fomite) like a doorknob or other surface that a contagious
person has touched or contaminated very recently, then afterwards, you touch it and then touch
your eyes, nose or mouth or an opening in the skin which are the conduits of entry into your
body.
Airborne Spread: Airborne spread implies the spread of germs over a distance of more than
several feet between the source and the victim. The infectious organisms are usually contained in
droplet nuclei, which are 5 micrometers in diameter (5 millionths of a meter) or smaller in size.
These particles can remain suspended in air for hours or days and do not easily fall to the forces
of gravity. The classic example of airborne spread is the transmission of the tuberculosis bacillus
by means of droplet nuclei. Another organism spread via airborne is influenza, and yet another
virus called SARS. We also learned in the post-911 anthrax attacks on NYC and elsewhere that
the spores of anthrax also travel well in the air and can be kicked-up, so to speak, in particles and
dust (6).
Allergens: Recently there was a report of a leaky dust filled vacuum cleaner, contaminated with
Salmonella, which got re-suspended in the air each time the vacuum cleaner was turned on
thereby infecting and re-infecting the household members. What is important to understand is
that dust particles can carry germs but they can also carry allergens. According to the CDC
allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease in the U.S. at a cost of about $18 Billion all
told. An interesting statistic often quoted is that the average 1500 sq. ft. house accumulates
about 40 pounds of dust over a year. And there are approximately 40,000 dust mites and debris
that are contained in every ounce of dust. Breathing in such air can exacerbate existing allergies
including asthma. Some ill health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure to
pollutants in indoor air while some people can become sensitized to biological or chemical
pollutants after repeated exposure. Other ill health effects may show up either years after
exposure has occurred, or after repeated periods of exposure to poor indoor air quality (6).
Greatest Risks: Anywhere there is a building or facility that houses numerous people over an
extended period of time, there is an unquestionable need to provide and/or maintain the quality
of the indoor air. This is especially so for hospitals, medical centers, and other medical facilities,
because this is where most of the antibiotic resistant bacteria reside and where many sick
people are housed. As previously mentioned 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by
direct and indirect contact. This issue is especially important in hospitals where caregivers can
contribute to unnecessary illness and even deaths. According to the CDC there are almost a
million nosocomial (hospital acquired) infections that occur every year as well as about 75,000
deaths from these infections at a cost to society of about $4 billion annually (7). Nosocomial
infections, especially those caused by highly antibiotic resistant germs, kill more people every
year than pancreatic cancer, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s
combined. These diseases are the subjects of large public-relations campaigns to raise
2
awareness and solicit funds to combat them. Yet nothing as robust exists for nosocomial
infections. Certainly antibiotics have saved millions of lives over the past 65 years or so, and will
save countless others in the decades to come but in one sense the world’s antibiotic use has been
a 65 year experiment in self-sabotage. The selective ability to develop antibiotic drug resistance
has allowed us to create more and more dangerous germs. Misuse of wonder drugs has created
superbugs. Nowhere are superbugs more prevalent than in hospitals and medical facilities (6). It
is of the utmost importance to prevent infection in anyway and everyway we can (including use
of advanced technology that can maintain indoor air quality)., so as not to be faced with a
treatment dilemma.
Available Techniques for Purifying and/or Positively Affecting Indoor Air Quality: There
are currently several technologies on the market that are useful to varying degrees for the
purification of air and the maintenance of IAQ, allowing for reduction of infectious agents such as
bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as reduction in allergens and other particulates, especially
useful in hospitals and other medical facilities. If we can greatly reduce or prevent an infection
from occurring, we do not have to worry about antibiotic resistance or other problematic aspects
of treating them. In a similar way reducing or eliminating allergens may more positively affect
the 6th leading cause of chronic disease in the U.S. –allergies and asthma. These IAQ purification
techniques are listed as follows in order of decreasing efficacy: Bi-Polar Ionization, PCO/PCI
(photo-catalytic oxidation) technology, Needle-point Ionization, HEPA Air Filters, UV Light,
Electrostatic precipitation. Of the aforementioned, there is only one technology that satisfies all
of the tenants for providing clean indoor air quality for an entire building, which uses low
energy, is effective against bacteria, viruses, and mold fungi (whether in air or on surfaces),
neutralizes particulates, breaks down VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) eliminates unpleasant
odors, eliminates static electricity, and produces no chemical or harmful by-products (including
NO ozone production) and this is accomplished by the production of positive and negative ions
(bipolar ionization). That system is AtmosAir Bipolar Ionization.
Bipolar Ionization: Bipolar ionization is created when an alternating voltage source (AC) is
applied to a special tube with two electrodes. When voltage is applied to the tubes
electrodes (like electricity is applied to a light bulb’s filament) an ionization field is
produced around the tube (just as light is produced from the light bulb). However the
ionization cannot be seen but its presence will result in “mountain air” freshness. Such ions
occur naturally especially on mountain tops and waterfalls, where the production of both
positive and negative ions purify the air. Such a system has significant commercial and
industrial applications. The airflow distributes the energized ions into all spaces served by
the duct system in an in-duct installation or into the application space if a standalone is
used. The beauty of the AtmosAir system is just how easily it integrates into existing
commercial and residential HVAC systems. Unlike most air purification systems AtmosAir
seeks out particulates and contaminants, including germs and does not wait for pollutants
to find their way into the filter within the air handler. Instead charged ions go to the
contaminants in the space where you breathe, just as in nature, and do so in a
continuous fashion and with continuous disinfection.
These positively and negatively charged ions have an effect on dust particles, allergen
VOC’s, odors, and bacteria, viruses, molds and mold spores. For example, regarding
particles--- oppositely charged ions cause particles to attract to other particles and become
bigger and heavier, by a process called “agglomeration”. These bigger heavier particles can
now be better trapped by HVAC system filters so the filters operate more efficiently. Also
3
many small particles that are generated within a space by people and their activities may
never get to system filters and ordinarily stay suspended in air for long periods and can be
breathed in, increasing the chance of illness and respiratory distress. The bi-polar ion
process will drop these to the floor quickly taking them away from where we breathe.
VOC’s or gaseous chemical off gasses typically cause odors and irritations. These are also a
major source of “Sick Building Syndrome” complaints, where people feel ill at work but feel
better when they leave the building. Bi-Polar ions break down hydrocarbon chains that
make up these complex compounds into immeasurable levels of carbon dioxide and water
vapor. On micro-organisms like bacteria, virus and molds, bi-polar ions will interrupt the
reproductive ability of these organisms so rather than colony forming units (cfu)
increasing and spreading and expanding, they shrink away and lessen the chance of
infection.
The Effect of Bipolar Ionization generators on microorganisms:
The negative and positive ions that are generated by BPI are designed to treat and allow
energy imparted by the ions to transform ordinary oxygen into Reactive Oxygen Species
(ROS), Superoxides, Peroxides, and Hydroxyls. These ions have the property of clustering
around micro-particles, and thus, they surround harmful substances such as airborne mold,
viruses, bacteria and allergens. At that point, a chemical reaction occurs on the cell
membrane surface, and they are transformed into OH radicals, which are powerfully active
(Standard Oxidation Potential [V] = 2.81 for OH vs H2O2 = 1.78 and OO2 = 1.23) and
because they are unstable they rob the harmful substance of a hydrogen atom (H). The
result is that they are inactivated by severing the protein on cell membrane, which causes
the opening of holes, thusly destroying the entity. The OH radicals instantly bond with the
removed hydrogen(H), forming water vapor (H2O) which returns to the air. It is most
important to note that bipolar ionization kills microbes without damaging DNA (therefore it
does not cause cancer) in the interior of cells and unlike other physical and chemical agents,
such as UV light, radioactivity and use of caustic chemicals, BPI is totally GREEN and it does
NOT adversely affect the environment in any way.
See the figures below, which pictorially help explain this process:
Mechanism for Inactivating Airborne Virus
The positive (H+) and negative (O2-) ions
surround the hemagglutinin (surface proteins
that form on organisms and trigger infections)
and change into highly reactive OH groups
called hydroxyl radicals (•OH). These take a
hydrogen molecule from the hemagglutinin and
change into water (H2O). The ions destroy the
virus surface structure, for example its
envelopes and spikes, on a molecular level. As a
result, the virus cannot infect even if it enters the
body.

The Bi-Polar Ion technology accomplishes these benefits by sizing systems that consist of
one of more bi-polar ion tubes, to the airflow rate of the HVAC system and the particulars of
the space. The system then saturates the spaces with adequate quantities of bi-polar ions to
ensure these reactions can occur. See below some pictures of installed systems:
One advantage to the way the bi-polar ion technology is applied is that it requires no re-
engineering of the HVAC system, requires no continual adjustment or maintenance except a
replacement of the bi-polar ion tube every 2 years.
In laboratory testing bi-polar ion systems have shown significant contaminant reduction
capabilities. The active process of the ions saturating the space to get to the source of
contamination shows great efficiency when compared to passive technologies that must
bring the contaminant to the device to be affected. See the below chart of comparison testing
of CADR rate (Clean Air Delivery Rate):
Bi-polar ion systems have show good performance on dust particles, VOC’s and micro-
organisms both in air and on surfaces, see below some testing charts from this technology:

Mechanism for Inactivating Bacteria, Fungi
The positive (H+) and negative (O2
-) ions cluster together on the surface of
airborne bacteria or fungi, causing a chemical
reaction that results in the creation of highly
reactive OH groups called hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The hydroxyl radical will take a hydrogen
molecule from the cell wall of an airborne
bacteria or fungi particle.

Combined with the ability to provide cleaner and healthier air is also the ability for bi-polar
ions systems to enable a building to save energy. When air quality and the typical
contaminants are considered and a proven strategy is used to control those contaminants
(per ASHARE 62.1 IAQ Procedure) ventilation code required outside air introduction can be
reduced and greater volumes of already conditioned air can be re-circulated. This allows a
building’s air handlers to cycle less and run for shorter durations and well as chillers and /
or condensing units. This can enable significant HVAC energy savings sometimes up to
20% which, in turn, will impact the overall electrical and gas, oil or generated steam cost.
This strategy has been proven in several studies. The US Army in a project co-
sponsored by DOE conducted a study with bi-polar ionization and reducing outside air
need in a test building. The study concluded that a reduction of outside air from 40 cfm
(cubic feet per minute) per person occupancy down to 5 cfm per person combined with bi-

polar ionization resulted in overall improved air quality in particles, spores and VOC levels
while showing a reduction in HVAC power demand of 23%. This resulted in over 50 full-
scale building integrations and growing. In a similar case study, Staples Center in Los
Angeles, CA studied bi-polar ionization along with a strategy that included reduction of
outside air by 50% and downsizing media filters from MERV 14 to 11. The study showed
overall better air quality with particle and VOC reductions and HVAC power demand
decrease of 21%. This study led to a full-scale integration of bi-polar ionization and reduced
outside air and downsized filters throughout the entire arena. Because Bi-polar ionization
will go to the source of contamination, a larger percentage of particles are affected than
with filter systems. It has the effective filtering capacity of MERV 13 filtration without the
static load on the air system.
Comparative Cost Savings and Simple Installation:
The bi-polar ion technology can enable significant cost reductions when compared to the
cost of HVAC equipment. Typically HVAC equipment costs approx $1,500 per ton with a ton
being equal to 400 supply cfm capacity or approx 400 square feet capacity so cost would be
$3.75 per cfm or square foot. A bi-polar ion system installed costs approx .80 per cfm or per
square foot, so bi-polar ionization with its ability to reduce outside air and the tonnage
needed to condition that air, provides a cost effective solution to providing good IAQ in
buildings. Overall energy use in a typical building is 50% HVAC related and of that HVAC
energy use is over 50% from having to condition outside air so the energy savings impact is
substantial. Also bi-polar ion systems are very easy to integrate into new or existing HVAC
systems. Systems can be easily installed into the main supply duct of the HVAC system so
the bi-polar ion tubes can be inserted into the supply airflow and saturate the interior with
bi-polar ions. A typical system that can serve up to 15,000 square feet can be installed in
under an hour. Also the same system uses less than 50 watts of power to operate and
imparts a negligible static pressure on the airflow, so these systems do not impose an
energy penalty by their use as adsorbent technologies such as carbon filters or other types
of air scrubber systems will by their operation. When compared to a high efficiency filter for
cost of operation, AtmosAir systems will cost 90% less to operate due to the low airflow
restriction and operating cost.
Some Additional Supportive Research
As previously mentioned nosocomial infections in hospitals, especially with highly
antibiotic resistant germs, infect about a million patients annually, killing about 75,000 of
them at a cost of about $2 billion. Several published studies have shown the usefulness of
bipolar ionization controlling airborne bacterial populations. For example, there is ample
evidence that airborne route of transmission is important in the epidemiology of several
nosocomial bacteria including Acinetobacter spp infections (8). Multiple antibiotic resistant
Acinetobacter spp have emerged as a significant health-care associated infection
(nosocomial) and these microbes usually become endemic throughout the hospital (9). The
above cited study reported that Acinetobacter spp cases were reduced from 11 to 2 (p=
0.007) using bipolar ionization. Further, this study reported that it is clear that ionization
has a likely role in prevention of Acinetobacrter infections (8).
There is growing evidence that bioaerosols can be generated in an indoor setting by
ventilation or air conditioning systems, dust or shed skin disturbance, coughs, and sneezes
among others (10, 11). Several other studies have demonstrated that hospital activities,
7
such as bed making, caused significant aerosolization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (12, 13). Even nurses polypropylene aprons, along with other plastic materials used
in a healthcare setting generated static electric fields and collected high numbers of
microbes (14). Another study reported that when surgeons perform endoscopic surgery
they frequently point to a video monitor during the procedure and they found that bacteria
grew when a gloved hand passed within 4 cm of the monitor but not beyond 8 cm distance
(15). In another study, a 40-50 % reduction in microbial air pollution was found after
employing a 13.5 kV corona-type ion generator every second week in a dental clinic (16).
Similar types of studies have been conducted for non-biological particles in the
semiconductor industry. Another major study evaluated the effect of surface charge and air
ionization on deposits of airborne bacteria (17). They found that implementation of bipolar
ionization resulted reduction of bacterial deposition. This is important because static
charges on fomite surfaces may attract resulting deposition in excess of that expected by
gravitational sedimentation or simple diffusion (17). Their findings suggest that highly
charged bioaerosols and materials used in patient setting may represent an important new
avenue for exploration and research into reduction of hospital-acquired infections.
Airborne movement of dust, and other particulates has frequently been implicated as a
potential mechanism for transmitting Salmonella enteritidis infection in poultry houses (18).
In order to determine whether air ionization would affect airborne transmission of S.
enteritidis, baby chicks were housed in four controlled–environment isolation cabinets in
which airflow was directed across an unoccupied central area from one (“upstream”) group
of birds to another (“downstream”) group (18). Ionizers were installed in two of the
caninets. In three replicate trails, groups of chicks were placed in the upstream end of the
transmission cabinets and orally inoculated with S. enteritidis at one week of age. On the
following day, 1-day-old chicks were placed in the downstream end of the cabinets. When
chicks were sampled at 3 and 8 days post-inoculation, S. enteritidis was found on the surface
of 89.6% of the downstream chicks from cabinets without negative air ionizers, but on only
39.6% of the downstream chicks in the presence of the ionizers. Most importantly,
S.enteritidis was recovered from the ceca of 53.1% of sampled downstream chicks in
cabinets without ionizers, but only 1 % of the ceca of chicks in cabinets with ionizers
installed (18).
Studies of the effects of ionization on bacterial aerosols in a burns and plastic surgery unit
were studied (19). It is known that the microbial contamination of the air in burn units is
high (20). A classic study demonstrated in single rooms where isolated patients were
nursed, the ionization experiments of 24 h periods with -5kV showed lower sedimentation
bacterial counts during ionization on two repeated occasions (19). The total colony counts
represent contamination due to staff and patients. Phage typed finger-printing of
Staphylococcus aureus strains in the air indicate shedding by individual patients. Although
the sheath bacteria-carrying epithelial cells is large, the number of S. aureus
bearing particles was significantly decreased by ionization. Clearly the number of S. aureus
shed by patients in presented cases was also lower during the ionization (19). In a similar
study, researchers performing experiments with animal respiratory diseases caused by
Newcastle disease virus suggested that contamination of the air by droplets that carry other
bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycoplasma pneumonia, and other microbes (like
Legionella pneumophila), may also be prevented by ionization of the air (21). They suggest
that ionization of air may prove to be an alternative to increased air ventilation and
filtration (21).
8
Air ionization has a long history of varied applications. In one published review article on
the ionization of air for removal of “noxious effluvia”, a presentation of recent
developments in the application of controllable air ionization processes that apply
dielectric-barrier discharge devices to generate non-thermal plasmas have led to
applications for chemical and biological decontamination in indoor environments (22).
These include significant reductions in airborne microbes, neutralization of odors, and
reduction of VOCs. Also removal of very fine particulates (PMx) is also enhanced by air
ionization. The physics and chemistry of air ionization, and its utility for contributing to
significant improvements in indoor air are discussed in detail (22).
The efficacy of bipolar ionization technology against a wide variety of pathogens was
confirmed through collaborative research (23). Efficacy in inhibiting of airborne target
substances noted below was verified by exposing those organisms to an ion concentration
of at least 3000 ions/cm3. Effective kill was achieved in seconds to minutes dependent upon
the microbe, the exposure time, and the concentration of ions. Studies have shown that a
more rapid kill-time can be achieved by increasing concentration of ions. For example,
Sharp Corporation studies in collaboration with Retroscreen Virology Ltd demonstrated
that the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus could be inactivated by 99.9% in ten
minutes using a high bipolar ion concentration of 50,000 ions/cm3 (24). Sharp has also
shown that reduction by 99% could be achieved in ten minutes at a concentration of 7000
ions/cm3 (24). It is very important to understand that during actual real-time in-use
conditions, bipolar ionization systems perform in a continuous steady fashion with
continuous disinfection so that large bolus concentrations are unnecessary for
effectiveness.
9
The results of a series of studies are summarized in the chart below (23, 24):
Air ionization, although historically well documented and technologically well advanced, is
just now entering the field of treatment of specific targets in indoor environments, which
directly affect the IAQ and bring with it the potential for associated health benefits!
