Coronavirus: ‘filtered away’ – thanks to the new H 14 class high-performance filter for all professional air cleaners of our TAC series
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Class H 14 HEPA high performance filters filter the coronavirus effectively! That’s the good news, which lets every pro breathe a literal sigh of relief. This is because these high-performance filters eliminate particles larger than 0.1 µm – so that the 0.12 to 0.16 µm coronavirus doesn’t stand a chance. This is especially true since this virus does not float through the air by itself, but as a significantly larger droplet aerosol. Best of all: the H14 filters will soon be available for all TAC series air purifiers. Read More
Coronavirus: Reduce your risk of infection by optimising air humidity

Prevent contracting the coronavirus! That’s the watchword here because only by extending the time frame will our hospitals be able to help the large number of patients predicted to be hit by the wave of infection. But the risk of infection increases with increasing dwell time wherever many people spend long periods of time in rooms. That’s why it’s good to know: 50% humidity reduces the risk of inhaling coughed out viruses, which, like the coronavirus, are responsible for respiratory diseases.

The symptoms caused by the new corona virus Sars-CoV-2 are called ‘Covid-19’. This is a disease of the respiratory tract, one of the most frequent causes of incapacity to work even before the appearance of this new type of virus. Particularly in winter, there is an increased incidence of respiratory tract infections. Because although studies show that the lifespan of viruses, their spread and the immune system all directly depend on the humidity of the air, many buildings and offices are much too dry, especially in winter.

With the corona virus, handshakes, snuggles and stolen kisses are all out the window. Meticulous and persistent hand washing as well as sneezing or coughing in the crook of your arm are, of course, a must. But we can do much more by strengthening our body’s defence against the virus to the best of our ability. In addition, numerous current research results document how effective this defence against infection depends on optimum humidity.

Cold and dry air are ideal conditions for many viruses. The warmer it gets, the more difficult it is for the corona virus to survive – because it is surrounded by a lipid layer. A fat layer that is not particularly heat-resistant, giving rise to justified hopes that the virus does not tolerate rising summer temperatures well. But we know exactly what viruses that cause respiratory diseases, like corona, are responsible for the immediate knock-out: A humidity of 50 % is deadly for these viruses and for bacteria!
Coronavirus: Professional ozone applications can effectively decontaminate surfaces

The new coronavirus poses many unresolved questions to medical science. Thus, how long the coronavirus remains infectious on surfaces is still unknown. In the case of the similar SARS virus from 2002/2003, it was possible to determine its contagiousness even after about 96 hours. But something else is quite similar: At that time, ozone gas was effectively used against the SARS viruses! And most likely the surfaces infected with today’s SARS-CoV-2 virus can be effectively disinfected with ozone as well.
