Resource Center for Preventing Airborne Transmission with HVAC Air Filters

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is forcing companies to consider whether their facilities are equipped to reduce the threat of infection.

Keeping facilities, workers, and families safe during a global pandemic requires various strategies that can reduce the spread of disease. Parker encourages everyone to follow updated information and guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization for this rapidly evolving situation.

Parker is dedicated to providing honest and transparent information about our filtration products to help customers decide which technologies provide the highest chances of trapping virulent pathogens before they enter a building or circulate to different rooms. IMPORTANT: Parker’s products can reduce airborne particulates in a controlled environment. They would not eliminate the risk of exposure to airborne viruses but can be part of a comprehensive plan to help reduce the risk.

Know how COVID-19 spreads

The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) mainly occurs through respiratory droplet transfer from person-to-person within a close range of about six feet according to the CDC. The virus can be transmitted on skin, objects, and surfaces that a contagious person may cough on, sneeze on, or touch. Pathogens can also travel on dust and dirt particles as those particles move through the air. Therefore, the potential for airborne transmission through an HVAC system exists.
