Live Breaking News & Updates on Uot He Said De La Pena Added That The Project Team Is Also Considering Its Use In Public Transport Vehicles

(Logo grabbed from University of San Carlos Facebook page) MANILA- The University of San Carlos (USC) in Cebu City and the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry (MPIC) in Mainz, Germany, are currently working to develop a low-cost ventilator system for tropical indoor environments to curb further spread of airborne viruses. In a taped report aired on Friday, Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Fortunato de la Pena said the project aims to redesign the low-cost ventilator system, in collaboration with its inventor Dr. Frank Helleis of MPIC, and modify this to fit indoor tropical environments in the Philippines. The project is supported by the DOST-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development. "The low-cost ventilator shall then be demonstrated, and hopefully will be used in selected tropical indoor environments, such as classrooms, banks, and government agencies," he said. De la Pena added that the project team is also considering its use in public tran ....
