Figure 5.1
Influenza A concentration
(represented on a logarithmic
scale) in the test chamber
during inactive control runs
with no air purifier operating.
Each sampling point
represents the average of
three replicates.
Figure 5.2
Influenza A concentration
(represented on a logarithmic
scale) in the test chamber
during active test runs
performed with the Roger Big
air purifier operating. Each
sampling point represents the
average of three replicates.
The data presented here show that within 60 minutes of the Stadler Form Roger Big air purifier
operating at the highest fan speed, the Influenza A concentration in the test chamber was reduced
to less than 0.156 ng/ml (the detection limit of the assay performed to quantify the collected airborne
virus).
Figure 5.3 shows the percentage reduction in Inf A levels (calculated per the formula cited above
in Section 4.4) during the control and test runs. Fluctuations in virus concentration were observed
