AAF Flanders Filters Prove Effective at Reducing Airborne Coronaviruses

Previous testing undertaken by a University of Minnesota research team, later replicated by AAF Flanders in our biological research laboratory at the Clean AIR Center, demonstrated that air filtration reduced not only airborne particles within the 0.5-1.0 micron size range that viruses tend to travel on, but also the virus particles themselves. For this study, the university researchers used the Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Virus as the test organism for the bioaerosol tests. Because the PRRS virus studied previously is much smaller and behaves differently than the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19, AAF Flanders researchers sought answers to the question:
