Harbor Transit’s fleet now boasts newly-installed CASPR disinfection systems, adding another
layer of protection for its passengers and employees. The CASPR (which stands for Continuous
Air & Surface Pathogen Reduction) transit model is specifically designed for buses and trains
and destroys 99.96% of pathogens both in the air and on surfaces, including COVID-19 and
other viruses, bacteria, mold, and odors.
CASPR utilizes a Natural Catalytic Converter (NCC) to create highly effective and safe levels of
hydrogen peroxide molecules out of ambient air. CASPR’s molecules then circulate the air and
land on all surfaces, destroying harmful pathogens at the cellular level. These units create no
noise, odor or residue, ensuring a safe environment for all passengers. New and returning
customers can have confidence in riding Harbor Transit with CASPR units purifying air and
surfaces on each bus 24 hours a day.
Transportation Director Scott Borg is hopeful that the installation of the CASPR units will
reassure those who have been hesitant to ride the bus. “This cutting-edge technology now
implemented in our fleet is the future of safety in public transportation,” Borg said. “With the
continuous disinfection CASPR units provide on each bus, we certainly hope that anyone who
has been hesitant to return to public transportation will now feel safe to do so.”
Harbor Transit saw a steady increase in ridership in 2022, with numbers approaching pre-
pandemic levels.

A Natural Catalytic Converter ®  for Continuously Inactivating Air and Surface Pathogens with More Effect than Ventilation and Filtration

By Dr. Margaret Scarlett, Brett Duffy

ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Study Objective: The purpose of the study is to present independent laboratory testing for a novel technology in air and on surfaces. Since 2020, public health goals have focused on improving indoor air quality. This includes protection from airborne pathogens, such as tuberculosis, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, common cold or influenza viruses, measles, and others. Engineering controls are highly effective at reducing hazardous pathogens found in indoor air and from recontamination of surfaces. This occurs from a continuous cycle of settling of small, sustained airborne pathogens, which may become dehumidified, becoming airborne again, carried by room air currents around indoor spaces, then repeating the cycle.

Methods: The novel technology utilizes a catalytic process to produce safe levels of hydrogen peroxide gas that are effective in reducing pathogens in the air and on surfaces. Air testing was performed with the MS2 bacteriophage, the test organism for ASHRAE standard 241, and methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Surface testing was performed with SARS-COV-2 (Coronavirus COVID-19) and H1N1 (Influenza). Typical ventilation and filtration does not effectively remove disbursed pathogens from the entire facility, due to inconsistent air circulation and surface deposits of pathogens.

Results: MS2 was reduced by 99.9%; MRSA was reduced by 99.9%; SARS-CoV-2 was reduced by 99.9%; H1N1 was reduced by 99.9%.

Conclusion: This novel catalytic converter reduces a variety of pathogens in the air (99%) and on surfaces (99%), by actively disinfecting with the introduction of gaseous hydrogen peroxide. This active disinfection provides a strong solution for protecting the entire facility and its occupants.

The Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) wanted to be proactive in protecting their riders from potential bacteria and viruses after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the country in 2020. After researching various types of mitigation tools, the Western Massachusetts transit agency, which provided 6,079,333 rides in fiscal year 2022, chose CASPR Technologies to disinfect the air and surfaces on its buses using its CASPR Transit model, specifically designed for buses and trains.

PVTA installed the technology on all 189 buses in its fleet in June. The unobtrusive units are installed in the front and the rear of all buses, and window decals with a QR code will be placed in the window near the front doors to provide passengers with information about the continuously working technology and how it works.

“CASPR’s technology gives our passengers more peace of mind knowing the air and surfaces inside the buses are continuously being disinfected,” said Brandy Pelletier, Manager of Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations at the PVTA. “We believe that since passengers can see CASPR Transit aboard our buses, that they will feel more confident in their choice to use public transportation.”

Since its founding in 2016, CASPR (Continuous Air & Surface Pathogen Reduction) Technologies has been a leader in smart environmental indoor technology for healthcare and other industries. The company’s solutions work to ensure the air we breathe is the safest it can be. Its award-winning, patent-pending NCC™ technology proactively and continuously disinfects indoor air and surfaces at the molecular level, by converting water and oxygen in the air into low, safe yet effective levels of hydrogen peroxide, which are dispersed continuously throughout the air and onto surfaces.

CASPR has been proven to destroy 99.96% of pathogens both in the air and on surfaces. Recent independent studies have concluded that the technology provided by CASPR is more than twice as effective as any competing technology.

“Our technology was created to serve the medical industry,” said CASPR CEO/CTO and inventor Dr. Christophe Suchy. “But we soon found it was just as effective in other industries, including public transportation, where it can not only disinfect the air and surfaces, but eliminate odors often found on buses and in trains.”

New Hampshire-based Environmental Disinfection Solutions was instrumental in placing the CASPR Transit units aboard PVTA’s buses. Ken McCarthy, President of EDS, says he has installed the technology in a wide variety of businesses, ranging from urgent care centers and dialysis clinics to hospitals, schools, and restaurants.

“We applaud PVTA in taking the lead in providing a safer environment for its bus riders,” McCarthy said. “Having real-world results makes it easy to be passionate about CASPR’s technology, and how it helps keep our people and indoor spaces safe.”

CASPR is also used in other transit systems in the United States, including the Staten Island Ferry and the Long Island MacArthur Airport, as well as in many school districts’ bus systems.

DALLAS — It’s a fact: Kids in school spread germs around in what seems like an endless cycle, causing both illness and absenteeism among students and staff. But now there’s a way to keep schools and the people in them healthier by limiting the spread of nasty viruses and bacteria.

CASPR Technologies, an Addison, Texas-based environmental health technology company, offers a continuous intervention solution that delivers effective oxidizing molecules to all surfaces and throughout the air, reducing bioburdens 24/7. This technology has been installed in dozens of schools across the country since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We want to keep kids in school because absences impede their ability to learn and succeed. CASPR has been an important tool for keeping our classrooms clean,” said Michelle Haynes, principal of the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem, which has had the technology in place since 2020.

CASPR – which stands for Continuous Air & Surface Pathogen Reduction – uses proprietary Natural Catalytic Conversion (NCC™) technology to provide healthier indoor air and surface environments. The technology acts continuously, protecting surfaces from harmful bacteria and viruses.

While CASPR’s award-winning technology was originally created for healthcare environments, it now is being used in schools, businesses, residential complexes and even in the transportation industry. Recent independent studies have concluded that the technology provided by CASPR is more than twice as effective as any competing technology.

“CASPR is an excellent choice for schools, and summer is the perfect time to install it,” said CASPR co-founder and CTO Christophe Suchy. “We’ve seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that it reduces absenteeism and saves money for schools, which don’t have to hire substitute teachers.”

When Warren Easton Charter High School in New Orleans was getting ready to bring students and teachers back into the classroom during the height of the pandemic, it also installed CASPR Technologies’ environmental health products in its building.

“Although we performed continuous testing in our school-based clinic for the entire school year after CASPR was installed, we did not find any positive COVID-19 cases for our students and faculty,” said David J. Garland, chair of the school’s board of directors. “It’s an amazing success story.”

Warren Easton found that CASPR provided an added benefit they hadn’t thought about when purchasing the system. The 107-year-old masonry building had a distinctive odor that came from the old bricks. That smell essentially disappeared after CASPR was installed. “It’s a clear indicator that the CASPR units were living up to our expectations,” Garland added.

Nick Licata, managing partner of Natural Disinfection Solutions, a Louisiana-based distributor of CASPR products, has placed CASPR in nearly three dozen schools across the state.

“We believe in the CASPR technology and are proud to help schools achieve healthier environments through the use of CASPR, which eliminates not only SARS-CoV-2 but other harmful pathogens as well,” he said. “CASPR is even on the General Services Agency (GSA) schedule, making it easy for public schools to invest in the technology.”
