Creating a healthier indoor environment reduces absentee rates & increases productivity

About 70 percent of the work force in Western Europe work indoors, and have frequently unexplained health problems such as irritation of the eyes, throat and nose, as well as respiratory illnesses leading to losses in productivity and greater absenteeism.

Air conditioning systems are thought to be the culprit as it is only in air conditioned buildings that these symptoms are reported.

According to the CIPD (The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development), the cost to business:

bulletEmployee absence amounts to an average of £600.00 per employee / year.
 
bullet On average 9 days are lost through employee sickness every year.

Many of these problems are caused by:

  1. People working in relatively close proximity to each other.
     
  2. Inhaling / exhaling the same air  / viruses as our work colleagues.

The culprit is widely acknowledged to be the effect air conditioning systems have on spreading viruses & bacteria to you & I.

What if we could invent virus protection for people intercepting the bacteria / viruses to halt their spread?

Until recently nothing could be done about this phenomenon but now there's a solution.
