HVAC Filter for Swine Flu

Swine flu is an airborne disease that mainly is spread through coughing and sneezing by people infected with the virus. Proper filtration in an HVAC can lower the chance of contracting the disease.

  1. HVAC Filtration Fan

    • Studies have reported that a properly functioning filtration fan can reduce the amount of contaminants in the air, claims Construction Week Online. The fan must be placed on maximum speed to achieve best results. Setting the fan to a slow but constant rotation will not have the same positive effect.

    High-Risk Areas

    • People at schools, hospitals, jails and heavily traversed areas are more likely to be at risk for swine flu. Attention should be given to making sure properly functioning fans and HVAC devices are installed in these high-risk areas to prevent further spread of the virus.

    UVGI Can Reduce Contaminants

    • Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) has been designed to kill the swine flu virus, says Construction News. Testing reports that it destroys 99.9 percent of all swine flu germs within its immediate vicinity.
