St. John’s – Originally developed by NASA for use in space, ActivePure technology is now used worldwide for its ability to kill harmful viruses and other pathogens in the air and on surfaces, quickly and effectively. This technology is being utilized in various industries and sectors helping organizations to strengthen health and safety measures.
