IIT Madras develops air sanitisation technology against Covid-19, TB

IIT Madras has collaborated with VIT Chennai, Queen Mary University of London and Magneto Cleantech to Develop Air Sanitization Technologies to prevent spread of COVID 19 & Tuberculosis.

Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai are collaborating with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), the UK, to develop India-centric Air Sanitization Technologies and guidelines to prevent the spread of Coronavirus and Tuberculosis. This system is aimed at deployment in confined indoor places such as offices and hospitals. This joint research aims to develop a robust low-cost bio-aerosol protection system to suppress air-transmitted diseases in indoor locations. In collaboration with Magneto Cleantech, a pioneering industry start-up based in Delhi, the testing and implementation will be done with real-time applications in various Indian environments.
