Ways to Prevent Covid Outbreak in Indoor Environment

As we know, Covid19 is the communicable disease that can be transmits through inhalation of airborne particles. Most of the cases has been shown that one carrier can infect all family members under a roof. One of this major cause is Air-conditioned isolated environment. We have to make an isolated system i.e. close all windows and doors and tightly pack the room or home. 

The best way to prevent virus spreading is to stay away from the infected one. But 40% cases are asymptomatic ( without any symptoms) they still spread virus.

Mask doing great job of preventing covid19 spread outside but once person inside the building it is difficult to stop virus to transmit. 

 What are the options, if virus escape into the air inside the building?

1st option bring in the fresh outside air inside the building

2nd option is to release virus into the environment outside the building.

For both the cases you have to create the proper ventilation. The safest indoor space is the one that constantly replacing stale air from outside fresh air. 

In commercial offices fresh air can be pumped in through heating vents and air-conditioning (HVAC) and at residential building, we get air by opening windows and doors. 

How do we found when to ventilate ?

Every time you exhale, you release CO2 into the air. Since the coronavirus is most often spread by breathing, coughing or talking, you can use CO2 levels to see if the room is filling up with potentially infectious exhalations. The CO2 level lets you estimate if enough fresh outside air is getting in. We can measure it byair exchange rate, when CO2 level exceed 800ppm, we should open the windows and create ventilate.

 What we found in Studied?

a recent study in Taiwan showed proper ventilation in room or in building can stop tuberculosis outbreak.

Since the coronavirus is spread through the air, higher CO2 levels in a room likely mean there is a higher chance of transmission.

based on the study above, it is recommended to use air filter and co2 meter to monitor co2 level

if you are in the room where not enough ventilation can be achieve. Before buying new air purifier, some  first thing to consider is high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, remove more than 99.97 percent of all particle sizes.

The second thing to consider is the power of cleaner it depends on the room size and living members

the last thing is validity of the claims made by the company and the product should be certified by recognized and responsible authorities. 

So, here is my Recommendation if you are planning to buy one for you. Sharp Air Purifier Packed with HEPA 14 Filter with Plasma Cluster Technology. This Tech named “Plasma Cluster” is patented Tech of Sharp, only available in Sharp Air-purifier. This Tech actually Neutralize the Electrostatic charge developing over our walls. This charge is the main cause behind attraction and attachment of Microbe (Virus, Bacteria, PM 2.5) on our walls.

“You will not gonna find this technology in any other Purifier. I repeat on this price point”

So, this filter can remove the charge and also filter that sticky un-invited Particles.  You can only buy it from commenting Down below or contacting me on my social media.

If you are in control of your indoor environment, make sure you are getting enough fresh air from outside circulating into the building. If you can’t get enough fresh air into a room, an air cleaner might be a good idea. 

If you walk into a building and it feels hot, stuffy and crowded, chances are that there is not enough ventilation, just leave that building immediately. 

Paying attention to air circulation and ventilation is very effective tool against the Corona Virus.
