Hi Pen. Song here.
Ozone is one of the recommended disinfection regarding viruses. We haven’t done any test on the sufficient concentration or time to kill the viruses or to what extent it will affect the performance of HEPA filters. I believe there are many available paper on such topic. You are welcomed to share here with all the readers for discussion.
Hi, Paddy, In your Bottom Line, you state ” However, the coronavirus – being a non-enveloped virus –” whereas earlier you point out that it is enveloped. Also, I know that there are studies testing detectable Covid-19 in city sewer systems for benchmarks in community exposure. Will there be any similar studies for HVAC filters, especially given the recent CDC statements on airborne virus?
These are very helpful & relevant information. I would like to ask your permission to use your images in you tube VLOG to share information about the HEPA Filter. I am not a seller of any air purifier products.
