Dr. John McKeon will discuss the science behind filtration and its role in healthier indoor environments at Filtration Hour
Filtration and Indoor Air Quality: The Science Behind Healthier Cities
On February 20, 2025, Dr. John McKeon, CMO of Airmid Healthgroup, will be speaking at Filtration Hour, a special event hosted by the World Filtration Institute (WFI). The session will explore the critical role of filtration technology in sustainable urban development, with a specific focus on indoor air quality (IAQ), public health, and environmental resilience.
The Science Behind Airborne Particles and Filtration
It is now recognised that poor IAQ is directly linked to respiratory diseases, allergen exposure, and reduced cognitive function. The air we breathe contains a complex mixture of particles, including:
- PM2.5 and PM10 – Fine and coarse particulate matter that affects lung health.
- Bioaerosols – Airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores that contribute to disease spread.
- Allergens – Pollen, pet dander, and dust mite allergen, which trigger asthma and allergic reactions.
Filtration plays a critical role in mitigating these risks. Advanced filtration systems help remove these contaminants at the source, whether in hospitals, schools, workplaces, or public transport systems.
What to Expect from Filtration Hour
During the panel discussion, Dr. McKeon will highlight:
🔬 How scientific testing validates filtration performance.
🦠 The importance of bioaerosol testing in real-world conditions.
🏙️ How filtration advancements are shaping healthier cities.
Other distinguished experts will also share insights into filtration materials, urban air strategies, and IAQ innovations, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to cleaner air solutions.
