Hi Folks
A fair few months ago someone posted scholarly articles on the efficiency of air scrubbers. Would anyone have the links for me?
Cheers

Hi Jude
Is this what you are after? Posted to the list on the 01/10/2021.
Hopefully by now your organisation has undertaken a risk assessment of your ventilation system and optimised as necessary (including older buildings). Air purifiers can be used as an adjunct to your HVAC systems along with other strategies you will have in place.
Find below and attached information that will get you started:
