WHO warns that new risks of global epidemic are intensifying, and the installation of air sterilizers should be accelerated
According to a report on Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" website on October 15, the World Health Organization warned that outbreaks of Marburg virus, monkeypox and the latest avian influenza virus are posing severe challenges to global public health security. In 2024 alone, 17 dangerous disease outbreaks have occurred around the world. These epidemics not only revealed the weaknesses of the existing epidemic prevention and control system, but also highlighted the global lack of preparedness to respond to epidemic outbreaks. In this case, the installation and application of air sterilizers is particularly important to protect public health.
The necessity of air sterilizer
As an effective air purification device, the air sterilizer can eliminate bacteria and viruses in the air through a variety of technical means (such as ultraviolet disinfection, HEPA filtration, etc.). Its wide application in public places, hospitals, schools and homes can significantly reduce the risk of infection caused by airborne transmission.
Improve air quality: Air sterilizers can effectively remove harmful substances and pathogens from the air, creating a safer breathing environment.
Reduce the probability of transmission: Viruses are mainly transmitted through the air. Installing air sterilizers can reduce the number of virus particles suspended in the air, thereby reducing the possibility of transmission.
Enhance public confidence: When the epidemic situation is unclear, all sectors of society increase the popularity of air disinfection equipment, which can enhance the public's sense of security and improve people's overall trust in epidemic prevention and control measures.
Call to speed up installation
Faced with the intensification of new risks from the global epidemic, governments and relevant departments of various countries should attach great importance to the installation of air sterilizers. Here are some suggestions:
Policy support: The government should introduce relevant policies to encourage and support the installation of air sterilizers in public places and high-risk areas.
Capital investment: Through financial subsidies or special funds, help enterprises, schools and health institutions improve air disinfection facilities and speed up the installation progress.
Technology popularization: Enhance society's understanding of air sterilizers, strengthen the research and development and promotion of related technologies, and ensure the effectiveness and economy of the equipment.
Public education: Carry out publicity on air disinfection knowledge, raise public attention to air quality and health, and encourage households and communities to spontaneously install disinfection equipment.
The intensification of new risks from the global epidemic reminds us that the importance of protecting public health in the face of disease threats cannot be underestimated. The popularization and installation of air sterilizers is not only an effective response to the current epidemic, but also part of our preparation for the future. Only through scientific and rigorous prevention and control strategies can we jointly build a strong line of defense against the virus.
