UH PROFESSOR WORKS TO REPEL COVID-19 DROPLETS FROM THE AIR

Curran believes his creation could hugely benefit schools, hospitals and public buildings – places he believes should continue to stay open and operating amid this pandemic.

He explains that the virus would essentially be blocked as it tries to pass through an air filter treated with his special liquid, leaving the virus to decay and disappear on the air filter. This process, he estimates, would take about 40 minutes.

“The city of New York is looking to adopt our technology,” Curran said.

Third party testing was completed by the city of New York and they are in discussion to implement the filter in a number of places.
