Description:

The HTML-based presentation covers how filter materials and configuration impact the ability of filters to mitigate risks based on what we know about the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. We examine the effectiveness of capture efficiencies at different MERV ratings. And we explore why MERV-A ratings are critical for determining filter choices. The presentation wraps up with a discussion on HEPA filters, in-room air purifiers, and air cleaners.
