‘100 per-cent safe bet against Coronavirus pathogen’ Layout and design of a building, as well as occupancy, type of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC), can impact the potential airborne spread of Coronavirus, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
A Kerala-based researcher has now patented an air steriliser that operates on a ground-breaking visible light photo-catalytic technology and promises ‘100 per cent safe air’ in air-conditioned, closed environments. A visiting Vice-President M Venkiah Nadu commended the invention at a function here as last week.
Cleaner air indoor
Syriac Joseph Palackal, a scientist in synthetic chemistry with many international patents to his credit, said that his Aerolyz ASR 600 steriliser can generate cleaner air indoor than outdoor. Available data suggest that indoor air is five-time more polluted than outdoor.
