$500 Million Fund 'Intercept' Aims to Eliminate Common Cold Through Treatments and Air Cleaning Tech
By
Veronique Greenwood
Summary
A new $500 million fund called Intercept aims to eliminate the common cold and other respiratory infections by financing treatments and air-cleaning technologies. The initiative focuses on deploying proven technologies like air filtration and UV lights in public spaces such as buses and schools, though retrofitting these locations is expensive and complex. The project plans to partner with corporations to run pilot programs testing air filtration systems in offices.
