Airwal
It avoids the risk of contagions and the spread of infections during pandemic times.
During the quarantine period, people are fighting against the physical and psychic effects of isolation. We decided to solve this problem during such an unprecedented moment which is greatly limiting our moments of shared interactions. The inspiration for our solution is represented by the scientists and biologists working in labs with the constant risk of exposure to harmful substances such as airborne in a particulate form. Airwal can capture saliva particles and water vapours, which are potential carriers of various pathogens, maintaining a clean and sanitised environment. Its operation is done through the use of an aspirator combined with a high-efficiency air filter positioned in the centre of the structure, which captures at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mould, bacteria and any airborne particles with a size of 0.125 microns in diameter. The product is consequently able to release a sanitised airflow through the atmosphere.
