Coronavirus: The TAC 6500 Professional air purifier – removes viruses with high-performance filters from rooms of 54 m² or 135 m³
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
So-called ‘clean rooms’ such as the operating theatres of a clinic are particularly hygiene-sensitive areas. In order to effectively limit the risk of infection there, the virus content in the room air should be reduced to a minimum, ideally to zero. The TAC 6500 professional air purifier from Trotec effectively masters this challenge: It is designed for areas of 54 m² or 135 m³ and equipped with an H14 filter for clean rooms of classes ISO 4 and ISO 3 – and thus separates 99.995 % of all particles in the air down to a size of 0.1 to 0.2 micrometres.

The TAC 5000 professional air purifier from Trotec effectively masters this challenge: It is designed for areas of 44 m² or 110 m³ and equipped with an H14 filter for clean rooms of classes ISO 4 and ISO 3 – and thus separates 99.995 % of all particles in the air down to a size of 0.1 to 0.2 micrometres.
Yale University proves: insufficient humidity increases viral infection

Not only the coronavirus but influenza viruses cause serious respiratory diseases as well – and result in at least half a million deaths worldwide annually. A new study by America’s Yale University proves a connection between low humidity and the spread of influenza viruses. The study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health substantiates a cause-effect relationship between humidity and the infectivity of coughed-up viruses – and everything seems to suggest that the same applies to the coronavirus as well.
Treatment and shielding tent in makeshift hospitals as well as mobile test stations for suspected corona cases, for patient care and to relieve doctors, authorities and hospitals

In the fight against the spread of the coronavirus SARS CoV-2, communities and authorities worldwide are faced with the challenge of testing the daily increasing number of suspected cases, reducing the still high risk of infection within the community and effectively breaking the infection chains. This mammoth task is made more difficult by the fact that hospitals and doctors’ surgeries in many places are working to capacity – and the necessary structures and materials for mobile corona test stations and makeshift hospitals are simply not available. Even the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) and the German Armed Forces refuse requests for support because, for example, German Armed Forces hospitals are also preparing for the increase in patient care.
When viruses are exposed to ozone they are completely destroyed by the extra oxygen atom
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen that humans breathe in diatomic form. Ozone is the second most powerful disinfectant in the world, and it is used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odours. The great advantage of ozone as a gas compared to other disinfectants is that it can spread everywhere, even in inaccessible areas, uniformly and within minutes.
