FAQs
How do you calculate the Airborne Viral Index?
The Airborne Viral Index is based on various scientific researches. The framework consists of four parts which influence airborne virus risk: virus survivability, immune system health, PM2.5 health impact and potential dosage. The calculation is based on CO2, temperature, humidity and PM2.5 that we can continuously monitor.
