Dear Museum Community,

We’ve been looking into some air purification systems to add an additional layer of protection to our existing and robust HVAC/ filtration system. We have started researching plasma technology to help address some of the concerns about the studies showing lingering airborne particles being distributed through ventilation systems.  

Have any of you had experience with this newish technology in a preservation environment? I would love to hear pros and cons before we make the leap (on or off list).

Thanks so much for your help!
