Problem
The current pandemic condition has resulted in a significant demand for devices that can monitor the quality of the air and its potential for virus transfer. People are concerned about the environment within which they live and/or work. Is it SAFE or NOT?
Viruses (such as Coronavirus) are known to transmit through droplets generated by an infected person when that person talks or coughs. Another major pandemic may paralyze the global economy. A Handheld Technology can check if there are significant amounts of droplets in the air, which indicates the potential for virus transmission. Currently, there is no simple method of checking whether there are a significant number of droplets or specific particles of pollens or spores in an environment. None of the existing air quality testers can identify droplets from other particles, such as dust particles. There is an urgent market demand due to the health, economic, and emotional effects of pandemics as well as urban living conditions. Another application of our device is to test the quality of face masks. Our device allows individuals to test the quality of their masks.
