This technical article explores the unique IAQ challenges in marine HVAC systems, why conventional fixes like odour masking or occasional cleaning are not enough, and how evidence-based antimicrobial solutions can provide sustainable, long-term improvements.

Research from Griffith University proved that a proactive approach uses the natural antimicrobial power of Tea Tree Oil vapours to target contamination directly in the HVAC system achieved a 70% reduction in microbial aerosols. Unlike harsh chemicals, this natural solution is biodegradable and safe for crews and the environment.
