1. A device comprising
an air intake configured to take in contaminated air from an environment in fluid communication with a filter stack comprising a prefilter, HEPA filter and carbon filter, wherein the HEPA filter is coated with a nanopolymer configured to puncture virus particles, wherein the filter stack is configured to provide filtered air;
wherein the filter stack is in fluid communication with a light chamber that intensifies and encloses a high intensity UVC light source; and wherein the light chamber further comprises an ion generator wherein the filtered air from the filter stack is treated with the UVC light source and the ion generator to provide purified air;
wherein the light chamber is in fluid communication with a first fan disposed on a first end of the device and a second fan on a second end of the device opposed to the first end, wherein the first fan and the second fan are configured to move air from the air intake through the filter stack and the light chamber and expel purified air downward from the device and back into the environment;
wherein the ion generator generates negative and positive ions in which the negative ions are passed to the first fan and positive ions are passed to the second fan maximizing the ions released to the occupied or unoccupied space;
one or more sensors to sense the condition of the air as it passes through the device; and
a controller in operational communication with the one or more sensors, the UVC light source, the ion generator and the fans to monitor and control operation of the device, wherein the controller is also in wireless communication with a remote user interface.
