'Purified Air were tasked to incorporate filtration solutions into the existing #HVAC system of the Houses of Parliament to improve the indoor air quality of the building'.

Purified Air 'achieved this by installing Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) within the existing Air Handling Units. ESPs vastly improved upon indoor air quality, ensuring that airborne viruses and bacteria were kept to an absolute minimum within the space'.purifiedair.com/about-us/
HM Government does NOT seem to underestimate the threat #Covid poses - at least the incorporation of 'virus control air filtration solutions' in certain locations, appears to indicate an awareness of the science, and some common sense.

#AirPurification being a strong contributor to 'removing harmful particulates from the air'.

Time for all hospitals, care homes, universities, schools, nurseries, offices, businesses, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, et al.' to have similar controls?

'Purified Air provided over 1000 #VIU Virus Irradiation Units alongside over 1000 Fan Coil UVGI 2L/4L units. These units were implemented to reduce the spread of #viruses to both the public and employees within the space.'

That's 'following' the science.

'#SARSCoV2 can be inactivated by exposure to Fan Coil UVGI 2L/4L units. Designed to be installed in offices, gyms and other commercial premises to remove airborne particles and help to destroy #viruses including #Coronavirus.'

'UVGI inactivates micro-organisms by attacking their DNA, permanently destroying and altering the molecular structure, leaving them unable to replicate or grow.'

'Following the air purifier’s successful installation, numerous #NHS hospitals from across England approached us to take units on a trial basis.'

'The NHS tested the product’s effectiveness during the trial period by comparing the air quality before and after mobile air purifiers were supplied. Upon impressive test results, all hospitals increased their order by an average of 3 fold per hospital.'

Reportedly, delegates #wef23 received protection from Covid, through PCR testing, air filtration, & UVGI light; and filtration solutions have been used to improve indoor air quality in the Houses of Parliament. Sensible, because #COVIDIsAirborne

Government knows only too well that poverty, ill-health, poor housing, poor air quality, poor education, racism, violence, trauma, and stress, impact on lives - but does it collect vital data and publish it? Does it listen to the views and the experiences of those most affected?
'Clean Air for Them, None for You', by @JessicaLexicus

'The global elite gathered in the alpine resort town of Davos this week to attend the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting.'

#CovidIsAirborne - and they know it! Time we all followed the science.
