Scientists have confirmed that COVID-19 is highly contagious and primarily spread through the air when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or talk. Respiratory droplets containing virus particles can land on surfaces or be inhaled by others, potentially leading to transmission. Guidelines for wearing masks and physical distancing aim to reduce the spread of the virus. Indoor air quality has become a critical focus as COVID-19 continues to impact daily life. Organizations like the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued guidelines related to indoor disease transmission.

Indoor Air Quality and HVAC Systems

In indoor environments such as offices, shopping malls, and restaurants, centralized Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are often used to circulate air. Unfortunately, these systems can become breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and viruses, including COVID-19. Research suggests that such environments can contribute to various health issues, including respiratory ailments and flu. This makes it essential to address the indoor air quality to create a safe and healthy environment.
