A "game-changing" air disinfection unit that would kill COVID-19 and prevent the spread of airborne disease in offices is being developed in Geelong.
A prototype of the unit which can be bolted into a building's office heating, cooling and ventilation systems is set to be sent to the CSIRO for analysis and testing.
Steve Atkinson from Scientific Investigations
The unit is being developed by the C6 Group in conjunction with Drysdale air quality expert Steve Atkinson, of Scientific Investigations, with the aim of going into production in Geelong's northern suburbs.
Mr Atkinson said the unit would have applications beyond COVID-19, arguing it was designed to knock out all viral bacterial and fungal particles, including "the next thing".
