In a recent study, U.S. workers ranked indoor air quality as their number-one concern about returning to the workplace.

As we begin to better understand the link between IAQ and wellness, active air purification technologies, such as bipolar ionization, hold tremendous promise to make indoor spaces healthier for all.

Our own Chief Science Officer Felipe Soberón shares his experience and insight on IAQ in educational environments. 

"I've seen the profound effects that air quality can have on our health and well-being, even apart from the pandemic. If we don’t take appropriate action today in our schools, we may well look back on this moment as a missed turning point for healthy air in education."

Microscopic measles particles can remain airborne and infectious for up to 2 hours and drift.

More and more evidence supports the case that Covid-19 Aerosols are infectious and more dangerous than droplets, in this blog post we take a look at how a similar debate was made around measles in the 1980s and how health officials reacted compared to how the health officials have reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Infectious Aerosols: Small but Potent

Many Covid-19 precautions — plexiglass dividers, desks spaced 6 feet apart, reduced restaurant occupancy — are premised on the notion that large droplets, generated by sneezes and coughs, pose the greatest danger to vulnerable people.

“People think they are protected indoors and they’re really not.”

For nearly a year, the 6-foot/2-meter rule has been invoked by officials worldwide and gained traction with the public. And yet, scientists say, the rule is misleading — based on an erroneous understanding of aerosol science and insufficient to curb Covid transmission.

Aerosol Transmission of Covid: More Prevalent than Presumed

Prodded by scientists worldwide, both organizations eventually agreed aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was possible in community settings and perhaps not rare. But even today, top scientists warn the impact of long-range spread has been vastly underestimated.
