With the concerns about the airborne spread of coronavirus on the rise, many of our clients are asking if it is possible to eliminate it from the air inside of their homes. Considering that the virus can live inside large droplets for hours if not days, and there is a lot of uncertainty on the subject, it’s not unreasonable to take every possible precaution.
In an article that was recently published by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration News, William Bahnfleth, founding director of the Indoor Environment Center at Pennsylvania State University, was quoted as saying that, if airborne droplets contain the virus,
“some of them will be small enough that they will stay airborne for a long time. So, it’s not impossible that infectious particles in the air could stay aloft long enough to be collected, say at the return grille of an HVAC system, go through a duct, and infect someone in a different space.”
So what can be done to protect indoor air quality? If only there was such a thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to cleaning indoor air environments. This is not the case, unfortunately; the best way to try to eliminate the coronavirus from our homes is to employ a multi-faceted approach, using a blend of the strategies and methods listed below:
