Whether at school, when shopping, in a restaurant or in the supermarket: the risk of contracting corona virus is literally in the air. The SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the body with inhaled air via infectious aerosol particles in the room air, whereby the Covid-19 pathogen spreads in the respiratory tract. Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin recently calculated how high the risk of infection is in certain rooms and everyday situations.BZ30 CO₂ air quality data logger – for autonomous long-term logging of carbon dioxide concentration, room temperature and humidity

Pandemic and infection alarms are going off everywhere you look – how often can, should or must classrooms, waiting rooms and meeting rooms be ventilated? An recommendation often heard is about every 20 minutes. But is that really enough? Is that too little ventilation, too much or just right? The BZ30 CO₂ air quality data logger delivers clarity here, because its alarm function warns you if it detects an increased concentration of CO₂. Schools, offices and private households thereby receive an indication of potentially inadequate ventilation management, which brings with it a potentially increased risk of infection.
Aerosols in Dental Practice: Dentacare Bendinat dental clinic strengthens corona prevention measures by using TAC V+ high-performance air purifiers from Trotec

Dental surgeries are subject to strict hygiene regulations which contribute to a high level of protection in the practices. This has not just been the case since the corona pandemic. Even before that, dentists always had to expect that potentially infectious patients (e.g. with measles or HIV) would come to the practice for treatment. With the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a new potential risk is emerging that must also be taken into account when protecting the health of employees, patients and of course the practitioner.
BQ30 Air Quality Monitor – displays the current CO2 and fine dust levels in the air at a glance using signal lights
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Potential fine dust sources and CO₂ emissions negatively influence home climate and wellness. Seemingly ‘normal’ things such as cooking, hoovering, tobacco and candle smoke, or lighting stoves or fireplaces contribute to this. Increased level of fine dust and CO₂ in the indoor air is responsible for difficulty in concentrating and sleeping, and for allergic reactions. As so-called CO₂ signal lights, measuring instruments serve to minimise the risk of infection during the current pandemic by using the right air. The Trotec Air Quality Monitor BQ30 determines not only the current CO₂ pollution levels but also the fine dust and pollen levels, as well as the prevailing indoor climate data – and displays the quality of the indoor air at a glance.
TAC V+: without a doubt the Volvo among room air purifiers

No other automotive brand has shaped the development of innovative safety technology as much as Volvo. The name Volvo continues to be synonymous worldwide with exemplary passenger safety and innovative technology. Admittedly, the novel TAC V+ air purifier from Trotec is still at the beginning of its success story. But we are certain that the mobile TAC V + air purifier is already playing just as important a role in the fight against the coronavirus as the technical innovations of Volvo to reduce the number of road accidents.

According to American studies, the COVID-19 pathogen Sars-CoV-2 can survive for several days on contaminated surfaces and lead to smear infections with the coronavirus. In addition to the main airborne transmission pathways, droplets and aerosols. Several corona outbreaks at sea suggest that this danger of contact infection is not just a theory.

As we know currently, the coronavirus is mainly transmitted via room air and only to a small extent via droplets released during speech or direct contact. What is known as aerosols, a mixture of gas (usually air) and solid or liquid components which, in infected persons, contain viruses, are the cause of the airborne risk of infection in closed rooms. These tiny suspended particles are released into the room during breathing and talking. While larger droplets fall to the floor after approx. 1.5 metres due to their weight (hence the social distancing rule of 1.5 m), infectious aerosol particles can remain suspended due to their small size (approx. 0.3-0.4 µm) for several hours in the air, where they are circulated around the room by the ventilation system – and breathed in!
New studies dampen hopes of a rapidly available corona vaccine. Companies must protect themselves and their employees in the long term.

Coronavirus and the measures adopted to contain the pandemic have plunged the German economy into a serious crisis. Service sectors have been particularly affected by forced closures ordered by the authorities. And even after reopening, many of these companies are still struggling with a somewhat dramatic drop in sales.
