• arclein

The team studied 10 different animal species, but found that crabs, cockles, oysters, and sponges were the best at filtering viruses. The authors of the study noted that "In our experiments, the sponges reduced the presence of viruses by up to 94 percent within three hours." After the virus was exposed to the sponge after a full 24 hours, the presence of viruses was reduced by up to 98 percent.
