As a result, new building regulations have been put in place that reduce the circumstances in which the diseas...

Capture Coating effectively kills Covid-19 indoors The spread and lingering impacts of the Covid-19 virus can be effectively and cheaply stopped with a new hydrophobic nanocoating applied to nonwoven filter fabrics in common HVAC systems. 1st March 2021 The availability of Capture Coating, developed by Curran Biotech, based in Houston, Texas, is being rushed to distributors and retailers across the globe.

The N95 masks, in particular, can filter out both large and small particles or droplets…Countries that have aggressively employed the widespread and consistent use of masks have successfully reduced their rates of commu...
