Air-cleaning devices that claim to remove SARS-CoV-2 have hit shelves, backed by varying levels of data

****!!!!**** Dry rooms and air-conditioned indoor spaces hike Covid-viral infection, conclude Indian and German researchers in their meta-study. They're urging optimum humidity standards for building interiors and public transport.

Mounting evidence from scientific community seems to suggest that COVID-19 virus can potentially spread by airborne transmission. As a result, methods and techniques for preventing environmental contagious, such as ventilation or air filtration have been ...

"Four House committee chairs say they have "serious questions" about the adequacy of the CDC's guidance on workplace protection from aerosol transmission." "For the last two weeks, scientists, experts and unions have been prodding the administration to be more specific about guidance on exposure to small aerosol particles that carry COVID-19, which they say the CDC's official guidelines downplay. " "If an emergency temporary standard is deemed necessary by OSHA, it would be the first enforceable nationwide standard for face masks in America's workplaces. "

"Some experts, including us, are encouraging that the hospitalized patient with COVID-19 spend as much time as is feasible and safe in the prone position while receiving oxygen or noninvasive modalities of support such a high flow oxygen delivered via nasal cannulae (HFNC) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV)." "Nebulizers are associated with aerosolization and potentially increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.... If nebulized therapy is used, patients should be in an airborne infection isolation room, and healthcare workers should use contact and airborne precautions" "For patients with COVID-19 who are intubated...we prefer the use of in-line metered dose inhalers (MDIs; ie, pressurized inhalers) rather than administration via a standard jet or vibrating mesh nebulizer due to the lower risk of aerosolization"

We will need a comprehensive strategy to reduce the sort of interactions that can lead to more infections.

{Using Biozinc disinfectant} After crossing through a port of entry, drivers and passengers get out of their cars and walk through inflatable tunnels on the side of the road to help ward of

CASPR’s highly effective oxidizing molecules are generated continuously at low levels that are safe enough for occupied spaces and well below NIOSH and OSHA limits. CASPR Medik technology is currently available in In-Duct units and will soon be available as a compact unit.. CASPR's Natural Catalytic Conversion technology has been shown in laboratory testing to materially inactivate SARS CoV-2.
