Coronavirus floats in the air How to reduce the risk of infection in commercial spaces thanks to professional air humidification

In the retail trade, such as at the baker’s or optician’s or even in the gallery – wherever you and your employees as well as the customers spend longer periods of time in closed rooms, another particularly high risk of infection lurks beyond the known droplet infection – so-called aerosols. This is the name given to the fine, virus-containing mist of droplets that is already produced during normal breathing and speaking and which hovers in the air for a particularly long time as a highly infectious cloud. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found an explanation for this phenomenon – and also for the solution…

Coronaviruses ‘float’ in the air: Banks and savings banks reduce risk of infection thanks to professional air humidification

Financial advisers at banks and savings banks are increasingly taking personal appointments again, while their colleagues at the cash desks were indispensable even at the height of the Corona crisis. But there is still a particularly high risk of infection lurking at the advisor’s desk, at the cash desk and in the customer waiting area – the aerosol. This is the name given to the fine, virus-containing mist of droplets which is formed during normal breathing and speaking, and which floats in the air as a highly infectious cloud for a particularly long time. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found the explanation for this phenomenon – and also the solution …

Coronavirus “floats” in the air: How you can reduce the risk of infection in the office thanks to professional humidification

Restrictions are loosening. Offices are also getting fuller with workers returning after working from home. However, if you rely solely on distancing regulations and masks to contain the corona virus, there is a high risk of infection. It is especially in closed office rooms with low humidity that the risk of infection lurks in the form of so-called aerosol particles, i.e. tiny exhaled infectious floating particles. This is why physicist Roland Netz from the Berlin Freie Universität recommends professional humidification. This means the droplets cannot shrink so quickly and tend to sink to the ground as heavier droplets.

Coronavirus ‘floats’ in the air: Thanks to professional humidification, the risk of infection in public institutions can be reduced

Town halls, retirement homes, libraries and museums are gradually returning to normal. But the virus is still around, and anyone who relies solely on distancing rules and wearing masks to ward off infection face a high risk of infecting themselves and others.  Especially in closed office rooms with low humidity, the risk of infection lurks in the form of so-called aerosol particles, i.e. tiny infectious floating particles that are exhaled. That is why physicist Roland Netz from Berlin’s Freie Universität recommends professional air humidification. In this way, the droplets cannot shrink as quickly and are more likely to sink to the ground as heavier droplets.
