Efficacy of antimicrobial and anti-viral coated air filters to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens (2022)
Journal Article
Watson, R., Oldfield, M., Bryant, J. A., Riordan, L., Hill, H. J., Watts, J. A., …de Cogan, F. (2022). Efficacy of antimicrobial and anti-viral coated air filters to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens. Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 2803. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-06579-9

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the real need for mechanisms to control the spread of airborne respiratory pathogens. Thus, preventing the spread of disease from pathogens has come to the forefront of the public consciousness. This has brought...
