answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK Health and Safety Laboratory conducted a small pilot study of a number of technologies used as ‘air purifiers’ as a preliminary indication of the potential for these systems to improve air quality. However, this pilot preceded the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore did not focus on airborne virus control.</p><p> </p><p>While the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies undertook a review of existing evidence on the application of UV disinfection, visible light, local air filtration and fumigation technologies to microbial control, it did not make an assessment of technologies supplied by companies. In our earlier answer to Question 496, we stated that Public Health England undertook an assessment of such technologies. However, this information was incorrect and we have amended the record by Written Ministerial Statement on 1 March 2022 <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fquestions-statements.parliament.uk%2Fwritten-statements%2Fdetail%2F2022-03-01%2Fhcws648&amp;data=04%7C01%7CDavid.Gosling%40dhsc.gov.uk%7C74ba698a24c74d6eab1b08da170bbcb6%7C61278c3091a84c318c1fef4de8973a1c%7C1%7C0%7C637847636423860232%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=UbDXZQq48LESuf7K4DTkqM%2FURfdzBbX7bWN2KPcxy7w%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">HCWS648</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) accepts submissions from companies for technologies and associated credentials.
