Covid Is Airborne, Scientists Say. Now Authorities Think So, Too
- divbzero 5y agoThe section that stuck me the most was: “Scientists are calling for ventilation systems to be overhauled like public water supplies were in the 1800s after fetid pipes were found to harbor cholera. Cleaner indoor air won’t just fight the pandemic, it will minimize the risk of catching flu and other respiratory infections that cost the U.S. more than $50 billion a year, researchers said in a study [1] in the journal Science on Friday. Avoiding these germs and their associated sickness and productivity losses would, therefore, offset the cost of upgrading ventilation and filtration in buildings.” This seems to be a significant shift if it pans out.

What I'm more interested in is a set of sensors and devices than can maintain not just temperature, but humidity, co2 and particulate matter levels. Juggling it all manually gets tiresome. Air conditioners are crap, they just recirculate air that comes in by other means, recuperators with heat exchangers is where it's at.
