DETROIT While a great deal of attention is being paid to wiping down and cleaning common touch points to prevent the spread of COVID-19, an expert in air quality control believes not nearly enough attention is being paid to how were cleaning our air. Aug. 26, 2020: Michigan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases up to 99,200; Death toll now at 6,424Dr. Serene Almomen is an air quality expert and CEO of Senseware in Washington D.C -- a company that designs air quality monitors. She said its not unreasonable to ask establishments how theyre cleaning their air. I always look up and see if there is a ventilation system, because ventilation systems are the most effective systems to remove the virus, Almomen said. She said a closed space with an open window is safer than one with a fan.
