SARS virus

In terminal areas, the air volumes are much greater, and typical HVAC filtration systems do not remove aerosol particles from the air as efficiently as do aircraft Environmental Control Systems (see Chapter 2). Thus, the costs and benefits of various enhanced filtration and air-cleaning strategies would have to be carefully assessed. An ancillary benefit to be considered would be the reduction of the transmission of common ills such as cold and flu viruses (or more serious viruses, such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] virus) among airport patrons.

A target sequence corresponds to a portion of SARS virus, bases exactly comprise between 29218 and 29247, both included. A three-base mismatch strand with mismatches located in bases number 5, 15 and 26. Both strands are biotinylated at the 3 end for allowing hybridisation detection.

Growing public concern regarding sources of infection, especially in hospitals, has led to the incorporation of an antimicrobial additive in switch and socket mouldings. Polygiene from the Swedish Perstorp Compounds AB is claimed to be effective against MRSA and the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus.
