| Cleaning virus particles from the air. |
| 2020-04-06 |
| By 3dc For this think adding sticky particulates in the air: Waiting for a friend from Chevron to post his analysis of aerosols of virus like this one. It's wild.... BTW best thing NYNY could do is park smoky diesel buses on the street filling the air with diesel particulates . Pollen is also good. Inside candles burning is good. The airborne virus particles have too much surface tension to vaporize and are too small to be stopped by HEPA filters. The clue was stewardesses getting the virus on long distance air trips. The air on planes is too dust free and clean so the virus makes it through the filters. BTW he is one of the top industry experts on filters and aerosols. Works at the big Chevron plant in Houston. Aerosols and filters including masks are among his specialties. In order of help least to best: 1) dust 2) burning candles 3) pollen 4) Diesel exhaust without CO. Then add HEPA filters and facemasks. Somebody asked what about hospitals - Perhaps they should intake outside air before their filters. The interior air should be mixed with diesel exhaust and purged from the building. As to store cashiers: If tobacco smoke is sticky - Maybe the checkout people at stores should be smoking cigars? |
