House Corporation president, John Ballinger (65-S), has announced that all five air handling systems serving the Chapter House are now equipped with Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) ionization systems. By utilizing Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization, GPS units generate a high voltage field that creates positive and negative ions. These ions travel through the airstream and actively target contaminants in the air field, strips them of hydrogen and reduces them to harmless base compounds. The units require no maintenance and use little energy and they kill organisms as small as bacteria and virus including Covid-19.

Although not approved by the FDA and their effectiveness not quantified, these devices are being installed in care facilities and other institutions across the country. Our Chapter House is probably the first Greek housing in North America to install this type of system.
