NanoCleanAir is a Swiss group with more than 25 years of international experience in the elimination of pollutants from exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. It also provides consulting, engineering, development and measurement services in the field of virus and nanoparticles in the air we breathe indoors.
"We contacted SNA to establish a method for determining the filter efficiency of a virus model particle using a specific filter test rig. This fruitful collaboration resulted in expertise to determine filter efficiency from viral particles and their de-activation. This knowledge is now available as a service to the industry and academic partners by combining the NanoCleanAir expertise in the field of aerosol technology with SNA expertise in bio-nano materials."
