Buildings May Soon Have ‘Immune Systems’ That Fight Airborne Disease

Scientists are developing innovative technologies to create "immune systems" for buildings, aiming to eliminate airborne diseases. The federal government has allocated $150 million to support this initiative, focusing on improving indoor air quality. Researchers are exploring various approaches, including advanced ventilation systems and air-purifying technologies, to reduce the spread of diseases in indoor environments. These new systems could potentially revolutionize the way buildings are designed and operated to promote public health.
