In the global struggle against Covid-19, a young British scientist with Bangladeshi ancestry has created a breakthrough disinfection solution that has been dubbed “ground-breaking.”
Sadia Khanom, 26, created “Voltique” after 14 months of study. A spray attracts and destroys all pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungus, and other microorganisms) on any surface for 14 days.
Voltique has been successfully trialed by the NHS, NASA, and a number of independent peer-reviewed laboratories, and will now be adopted by a number of governments and blue-chip corporations.
According to hospitals in the United Kingdom, the spray is 100 percent efficient in eradicating coronavirus and has the potential to save 70 percent on cleaning chemical costs. Voltique has already received orders totaling £10 million from as many as 13 nations across the world, according to Sadia Khanom.
Medical facilities, hotels, motels, restaurants, aircraft, and nuclear power plants can benefit from the spray.
“I’ve been intrigued with science since I was a child,” Khanom added. My interest was aroused when my grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease when I was 14, and I’ve made it my goal to avoid the disease since then.”
When the pandemic struck, she was on her way to completing a Ph.D. in Alzheimer’s Research and Neurodegeneration.
Khanom utilized her parent’s business, Café India, to testbed for her innovation, putting it through its paces.
“I’ve done a lot of study on Covid-19 and all of the major disinfectants on the market. I eventually identified the ideal recipe and named it Voltique after months of research,” she added.
Khanom aims to roll out the possibly life-saving technology on a worldwide scale with the help of Colin Hagan, a scientist who specializes in scientific innovation and development.
Kabir Ahmed, her father, is now a proud guy. “There is nothing more gratifying than knowing that this discovery of my daughter will assist people all around the world,” he added.
The family resides in Chester, United Kingdom. Her grandpa Azmat Ali came to the United Kingdom from Sylhet’s Bishwanath in 1964, and her father is a restaurateur.
