Every time we cough, sneeze, talk — or even breathe — we release tiny droplets into the air that can carry viruses and bacteria. These airborne particles can linger for minutes to hours, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Unlike dust or odors, you can’t see these particles — but they can still spread illness and infection. That’s why indoor air plays a major role in the spread of colds, flu, and other viruses.
Viruses and bacteria are microscopic organisms that can float in the air attached to droplets or tiny particles like dust or dander. They may include:
- Cold and flu viruses
- COVID-19 virus particles
- Airborne staph or strep bacteria
- Germs spread through sneezing or coughing
Once airborne, they can be inhaled — or settle on surfaces, waiting to be touched.
How SONA Helps Protect Your Air
SONA’s active ionization technology works in real time to reduce airborne pathogens.
- Reduces airborne viruses and bacteria by disrupting their ability to stay suspended in the air
- Fast-acting ionization — targets particles the moment they’re released
- Supports healthier shared spaces like offices, classrooms, waiting rooms, and homes
- Works alongside ventilation and mechanical filters to provide enhanced protection

Unlike filters alone, SONA’s technology actively targets microscopic particles before they reach your lungs. This reduces the overall viral load in the air, helping to cut down on transmission.
Who Benefits the Most?
- Schools and daycares with high foot traffic
- Homes with kids or elderly adults
- Healthcare clinics and dental offices
- Anyone looking to reduce exposure during cold and flu season
Cleaner Air. Healthier Spaces.
SONA doesn’t just clean the air — it helps create safer environments by actively reducing airborne pathogens that spread illness. Whether you’re protecting your family or your workplace, SONA is your line of defense against what you can’t see
Third Party Studies
Many third party studies exist showing the effectiveness of ionization as an agent for airborne protection against viruses in the air. A few example studies can be found found below:
- 99% reduction of airborne SARS-CoV-2 within 30 minutes in a controlled environment.
- RTI International & Aerobiology Lab Study (2020–2021), https://www.rti.org/
- The study found that ionizing air can reduce the infectivity of influenza viruses and prevent their airborne transmission.
