"Swine H1N1 Influenza A:
Transmission of Viruses in Indoor Air:
HVAC System Protection Options."
Presented at the
Federal Interagency Committee for Indoor Air Quality

"Experts acknowledge that "sanitizing surfaces" of schools where occupants had contacted the swine flu was an basically worthless exercise."
"No one really explained how airborne transmission occurs and what proactive protection measures one could take to mitigate exposure besides face masks."
"Since your fingers can't touch your lungs, washing your hands won't likely prevent flu viruses from entering deep into your lungs.
NO matter how sterile your hands are, you'll still be fully exposed to airborne Influenza
viruses entering and depositing into your lungs to cause disease."
"Every school and building has filters within their HVAC system. Many schools have MERV 1 or 2 filters which are nearly worthless in capturing airborne germs."
"Ultraviolet Germicidal (germ-killing) light is UV light in the "C" band (254 nanometers). It is invisible and mostly filtered out of our sunlight before it reaches earth's surface. UV-C light Sterilizes germs by destroying the A to T bond in their DNA. This prevents them from reproducing and they soon die."
"Adding additional UV lamps can achieve a total single pass capture/sterilize of 99.9%."
"Photocatalytic Oxidation is created when Ultraviolet light photons strike Titanium Dioxide to create Hydroxyl radicals. These newly liberated airborne Hydroxyl radicals can rupture and destroy the cellular material of any germs which they encounter."
