What can companies do to protect their most valuable employees after the pandemic turns endemic?
Developed and successfully tested during the pandemic — BlueSky Air Safety Zones* are laminar downflow systems that generate a gentle flow of HEPA clean air that moves from ducts above, into ducts at floor-level, continuously moving aerosols containing possible airborne pathogens down and out before they can spread.

The BueSky air filtration system is based on the same technology used in aircraft cabins
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of millions of people have traveled in airplanes without creating a single superspreader event. This remarkable fact can be attributed to the downflow air ventilation used in aircraft cabins.
Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes.

BlueSky Air Safety Zones* are autonomous, self-supporting systems that provide HEPA-clean air for large and small indoor spaces. These systems can be installed quickly and relocated easily.
BlueSky Air Safety Zones* function independently of HVAC system.

Why ducting is key
The BlueSky laminar downflow system creates a continuous flow of HEPA clean air that moves down from ducts above, straight into ducts at floor-level, taking all aerosols containing possible airborne pathogens with it (no lateral spreading).
Ductless stand-alone filtration devices are inadequate because they use the principle of air dilution. In addition, this approach moves air horizontally towards a central filtration device(s), which increases the risk of cross-infection.
Modern factories and fulfillment centers are places where Air Safety Zones can be successfully deployed to safeguard the health of essential personnel
In these highly automated environments, people are often required only in critical positions, and workers in some of these positions are clustered together behind their workstations on "islands" located on the work-floor. These are often the most valuable and most vulnerable employees. Because their work is stationary and in close proximity to each other: they are at a much greater risk of contracting COVID, common cold or flu.

In a letter to customers posted to the Volvo website, Volvo Trucks North America President Peter Verhoeve wrote that “out of an abundance of caution we have suspended our manufacturing operations to protect plant employees.

This factory operates with few workers in stationary positions on the actual factory floor with the exception of "islands" where engineers who control and supervise the operation are clustered together.
