The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a large increase in the commercialization of air cleaners. Air purifiers minimize dust, dander, and common allergens but can still generate ozone and particulate matter.
Join the EPA’s IAQ Science Webinar to learn the benefits, dangers, and differences in commercial indoor air purification systems. The presentation will examine several types of air cleaners and compare the estimated reduction in mortality due to reduced airborne disease transmission (COVID-19 and flu) with the estimated increase in mortality due to degradation of indoor air quality. Several sensitivity studies will be presented for a range of situations.
