Air Purifiers for Hantavirus Prevention
The hantavirus outbreak has brought a critical health reality to the forefront: the air we share is a primary pathway for pathogens. While hantavirus is still pretty rare, there’s a whole smorgasbord of pathogens, air pollution, mold, allergens and more that impact air quality.
Still, the cruise ship hantavirus outbreak has reminded many people how easily respiratory risks can emerge. From cruise ship cabins to schools, offices and homes, these risks can be mitigated with hantavirus prevention protocols, like air purifiers, masks, and surface sanitation.
How Hantavirus Spreads
Hantavirus can be transmitted through the aerosolization of viral particles. When dust or materials contaminated by rodents are disturbed, microscopic droplets enter the air. Once airborne, these particles can be inhaled by anyone in the vicinity. The World Health Organization determined the cruise ship outbreak is the Andes strain of the hantavirus – which is the only strain of hantavirus known for person-to-person transmission.
High-efficiency air filtration is one of the most effective ways to reduce the concentration of airborne hantavirus pathogens. By scrubbing the air, you remove the viral load before it has a chance to be inhaled.
Hantavirus also spreads by contact, so good hand hygiene is also critical to prevent hantavirus.
Clean Air Kits for Hantavirus Prevention
Traditional HEPA filters often fail because they are too loud; people turn them down or off exactly when they need them most. Clean Air Kits take a different approach, utilizing the scientifically proven power of the Corsi-Rosenthal method to clean the air at a whisper.
