CrewProtect™ filters are a compact filtering solution with several embedded layers, capable of reacting with different types of contaminants, primarily particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bioburden such as viruses, bacteria and mold (including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19). The lifetime of the filter is 6 months of intermittent usage or 1,800 hours of cumulative filtration. Since the technology inactivates viruses and volatile organic compounds, the filters are safe to dispose on normal refuse.
