Mitigating Airborne Disease Transmission in a Car Cabin

Mitigating Airborne Disease Transmission in a Car Cabin

by Nirvana Being on Jun 15 2022
Transmission of highly infectious respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, is facilitated by the transport of exhaled droplets and aerosols that can remain suspended in air for extended periods of time. A passenger car cabin represents one such situation with an elevated risk of pathogen transmission. For maximum social isolation, driving alone is clearly ideal, but this is not widely practical or environmentally sustainable, and there are many situations in which two or more people need to drive together. Wearing face masks and using barrier shields to separate occupants do offer an effective first step toward reducing infection rates. However, aerosols can pass through all but the most high-performance filters, and virus emissions via nanoparticle-sized aerosols associated with breathing and talking, let alone coughing and sneezing, are practically unavoidable. While Its highly recommended to run the ventilation on maximum to move all the stale air out of the cabin, that may not be sufficient.  A tested and credible solution that captures all the droplets and aerosols at the source is the Airific Car Cabin filter.  Developed utilizing Advanced Molecular Technology(AMT), the Airific Car Cabin Filter has the filtration efficiency of a N99 filter and removes viruses, bacteria and particles(PM2.5) from the air with a >99% efficacy. Not only is there a reduced risk of disease transmission, there is a reduced exposure to air pollution as well.  A simple do-it-yourself(DIY) solution, at a low cost that goes a long way to drive health and well-being.  Be safe!

THE PROBLEM- India has the worst communicable disease, and the worst air pollution record on the planet.  In Urban environments especially, our highest exposure to air pollution is in a car, as we roll along bumper-to-bumper, with fumes from the car in front of us getting picked up by the AC of our car.  Shared mobility with models like Uber, Ola and more, also create transmission risks of TB, viruses and bacteria.

This filter has a life of 6 months, assuming an average usage of 2 hours daily.    HOW DOES IT WORK? - As soon as the Air flow enters, it goes through 3 layers before it gets ready for you to breath. Layer 1: where Dust and pollen gets captured. Then it goes through the 2nd layer which is called the AMT layer, here PM2.5, PM10, bacteria, and other germs are captured. Then the air comes to the 3rd layer where it meets optimally packed activated carbon material that entraps Harmful gases, VOCs, and Odour.    ADVANTAGES OF THE AIRIFIC CAR CABIN FILTER- Better, faster and cheaper!
