Prevent Airborne Viruses

Control Viruses With an Air Filter

We all know the list of major airborne viruses (including the flu and common cold) but measles, mumps, and SARS are also airborne.

These airborne viruses are transmitted through aerosols from talking, singing, laughing, crying, sneezing, coughing, and even just breathing.

Scientists know that they are transmitted via long-term exposure in indoor environments.

Stale indoor air allows these infected aerosols to hang in the air due to the size of these airborne viruses increasing the risk of transmission.

For example, COVID-19 is around 0.12 microns in size and most airborne viruses are about double that size at 0.3 microns.

To help reduce the transmission of airborne viruses, you will need to make sure your indoor environment has the proper HVAC and Indoor Air Quality equipment.

How AprilAire Can Help Prevent Viruses

As we spend more and more time indoors, having effective airborne virus protection equipment is vital to reduce the risk of transmission.

AprilAire has several solutions to help combat airborne viruses inside your home.

Fresh air ventilation helps dilute the amount of virus-laden air by pulling the infected air out and replacing it with fresh air from the outside.

Another way is to reduce the size of the droplets by balancing your home's humidity. Dry indoor air evaporates these droplets making them small in size and allowing them to hang in the air and recirculate much more effectively. By adding moisture into the air through a humidifier you can increase the droplet size and force the droplets to surfaces much quicker. Humidity control also helps increase your body's immune response.

Air purification helps capture airborne viruses that pass through an air filter. A MERV 16 Air Filter captures 98%* of airborne viruses that pass through the system. For those in a dorm, apartment, or office, you can help combat airborne viruses with a portable air purifier.

For the most effective virus protection, an AprilAire Healthy Air System® combines fresh air ventilation, air purification, humidity control, and more. This multi-pronged approach is an effective tool to combat most indoor air issues.
