Mitigation and filtration materials

Early-stage work on capturing what we measure

filter media
Emerging

How the work is done

Controlled loading of candidate media with characterised local PM. Measurement of capture efficiency for particle mass, for metals, and for biological content, before and after passage. Comparison against an untreated control. Pilot deployment in a real indoor setting only after bench results justify it.

Which records carry this theme is derived from each record’s title, not chosen by its authors. The rules are in data/research-themes.yaml and every tag stores the term that produced it, shown in the chip’s tooltip. Theses use the laboratory’s own “Area of Research” where it is specific enough. Three publications and one thesis match no theme and are deliberately left untagged.
