The White House Administration identifies improved indoor air quality as an important tool to fight the spread of airborne diseases, including COVID-19.
Dr. Alondra Nelson, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Deputy Assistant to the President published, “Let’s Clear The Air On COVID”, on March 23, 2022.
In the article, Dr. Nelson shared research about improving indoor air quality, and also encouraged people to “…work collectively to make our friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers aware of what we can do or ask for to make being indoors together safer.”
The basics included details on VENTILATION, AIR FILTRATION, and AIR DISINFECTION.
