Composite dual functional filter for cabin air clean-up
Lead Participant:

Abstract
Health effects associated with microbial aerosols and contaminants are well known. Due to the large
number of passengers in the aircraft cabin, there may be high concentrations of CO2, dust, fibres, bacteria and
other micro-organisms.
In the complex cabin air environment, passengers and crew may be more susceptible to infection than under
normal circumstances. The collaborative project between Copper Clothing Ltd and the University of Bath aim to
develop a novel dual functional cabin air filter for the eradication of microbial aerosols, and the removal of
volatile contaminants, providing improved, cleaner air for passenger use. The active copper ions and nano-
carbon/novel metal organic frameworks (MOF) encapsulated microbial/adsorbent filters will be designed to
achieve optimal filtration performance while providing health benefits to passengers and crew, maximum
service life, minimum weight, smallest size and energy savings.
