LOS ANGELES International Airport (LAX) is
improving the air quality inside its terminals to
create a better overall experience for travelers.
Richard Yakel, air conditioning
supervisor II for LAX, said the airport
had numerous air quality complaints
that usually stemmed around the smell
of jet fumes in the terminals and the
office areas.
"With the Bradley Terminal, the way
the system was designed, it took in 100
percent outside air," he said. "It really
didn't return much building air so most
of the air being brought into the building
was directly from the outdoors on the
roof level, so when the winds would blow
you'd get occasional jet fumes introduced
to the terminal."
While carbon filtration systems
were effective, Yakel said not all the air
handlers had them. LAX decided to
add a bipolar ionization system to its
air ducts to improve air quality within
its terminals.
Steve Levine, president and CEO of
AtmosAir Solutions, said LAX has air
quality challenges. Besides the general
condition of outdoor air and exhaust
fumes, a wastewater plant is nearby.
"They really want the best in indoor
air quality," Levine said. "LA itself is in
area where the air quality isn't good. The
outdoor air is bad to begin with and the
indoor air is typically two to five times
worse than outdoor air because indoor
environments have carpet, machines and
people and whatnot."
Levine said typical air systems
in airports have f ilters and other
technologies addressing air quality on
the return side. The bipolar ionization
units LAX put in go on the supply side
of the air.
"Really the two best words to
describe our technology is creating this
continuous disinfection as long as you
