Ford micronAir proTect filter can trap allergens and coronaviruses
MANILA: Ford’s latest enhanced air filter traps more than just dust, pollen, and pollution. It now has the capability to protect against coronaviruses that cause health problems and diseases such as the Swine Flu.
Called the micronAir proTect filter and developed by Freudenberg, it uses carbon and a special active layer made from a secret recipe including citric acid found in lemons. This combo gives it antiviral properties as well as a shield against unwanted bacteria, yeast and fungi, particles like coronaviruses with a size of 0.05 microns or less than one thousandth the width of a human hair.
“For many drivers and their passengers, allergies to pollen and dust can cause great discomfort as well as serious health problems. This filter is a low-cost but effective measure that could protect the health and provide greater comfort for anyone travelling in a Ford vehicle,” said Nigel Brackenbury, vice president, Ford Customer Service Division, Ford of Europe.
When fitted to the vehicle’s ventilation system this can dilute the concentration of harmful particles entering the cabin and remove droplets containing viruses as quickly as possible, reducing the chance of further contamination and infection.
It has proven to be 99.9% effective at inactivating viruses like H1N1 and HCov-229E that come into contact with the special active layer. It hasn’t been tested yet versus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) whose size varies between 0.06 to 0.14 microns.
It is currently only available as an upgrade for models in the United Kingdom such as the EcoSport, Fiesta, Puma, Kuga, Focus, Mondeo, S-Max, and Galaxy.
