Researchers present new project for detection of SARS-COV-2 virus in indoor air
Researchers at the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of Valencia Region (FISABIO) and the Universitat de València (UV) have presented the AIRCOV project for the detection of the SARS-COV-2 virus in indoor air.
The project, which is expected to begin in January, aims to control air quality in indoor spaces, particularly in the university lecture halls and primary care centers.
The team of researchers led by Vicent Yusà, Salvador Garrigues, and Xavier López will analyze the levels of COVID-19 in these spaces, will evaluate several methods for collecting the virus, and will study possible links between the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and certain parameters of indoor air quality.
