The Blueair HealthProtect air purifiers have been tested to rate their effectiveness during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as a way to eliminate the virus from enclosed spaces. The testing was completed by the independent nonprofit research organization MRIGlobal on the live aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 virus to see how it would measure up. The various air purifiers tested were found to capture 99.99% of the coronavirus thanks to their HEPASilent Ultra and GermShield technologies within.
The Blueair HealthProtect air purifiers come as the first range of products to be tested for removing the novel coronavirus from environments and could help in the fight against the virus. The testing also identifies the continued increase in popularity of air purification technology amongst consumers.
