Novel Seat Ventilation for Aircraft Significantly Reduces Airborne Virus and Bacteria Transmission, Says University of New Mexico Research. 90 Percent Risk Reduction in Airborne Transmission of Virus and Bacteria on Aircraft Possible with Newly Patented Air Cleaning Breakthrough. ATLANTA, June 08, 2022 – Air-Clenz Systems™ (Air-Clenz™) announced today that independent research conducted by the University of New Mexico’s Department of Mechanical Engineering concluded that a seat-based ventilation approach in aircraft can significantly lower the transmission of airborne viral and bacterial infections, including COVID-19. The research modeled more than 300,000 exhaled particles and showed that the Air-Clenz™ seat-based, air-purification system – which blocks, captures, and cleans exhaled air before it has time to spread through the cabin – can reduce by 90 percent or more the risk of infection by airborne-transmitted viral and bacterial pathogens. The Air-Clenz™ invention was recently granted U.S. Patent 11,324,850 and covers multi-seated venues and vehicles of all types, including aircraft.
