Researchers and scientists keep looking for strategies to treat infections as the dangerous COVID virus keeps evolving into new types. An Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur-backed business recently created an air purifier that, according to the company, can “deactivate” the Covid-19 virus in just one minute.
IIT Kanpur tweeted that a new innovation against air pollutants and the coronavirus known as “Anti-Microbial Air Purification Technology” has been created in collaboration with IIT Bombay. The AiRTH-developed technology ensures total protection by both destroying germs and purifying the air. It has demonstrated to be able to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus with an efficacy of 99.9 percent in just one minute after being tested at CSIR-IMTECH, the tweet continued.
Ravi Kaushik, the company’s chief executive officer, noted that the purifier destroys the germs using UV-C irradiation and bombardment with OH radicals in such a way that it is optimised for higher residence time and intensity.
