Comparing the Markov Chain Model with the Eulerian and Lagrangian Models for Indoor Transient Particle Transport Simulations (2015, background): “The transmission of airborne infectious diseases, such as influenza (Moser et al. 1979), tuberculosis (Menzies et al. 2000), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS; Olsen et al. 2003), has become a major public concern in recent decades (Li et al. 2007).”
HVAC systems for environmental control to minimize the COVID-19 infection (2020, background): “Indoor infection risk control for health-care facilities has been taken seriously since the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemics.(24) The control of airborne bacteria and viruses should be guaranteed to minimize the cross-infection in hospital wards.”
Recognition of aerosol transmission of infectious agents: a commentary (2019, background): “The more mechanistic approaches (i.e. arguing from the more fundamental physical and dynamic behavior of small versus larger particle and droplet sizes in the absence of any biological interactions) to classifying which pathogens are likely to transmit via the airborne route have been published in v”
Ten questions concerning the built environment and mental health (2019, background): “The study of transmission of the MoBE to occupants in the built environment has historically focused on infectious disease airborne routes [69,132], although the direct transfer of MoBE to occupants has been shown in neonatal intensive care units [133].”
How can airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors be minimised? (2020, positive): “microdroplets and airflow patterns between people also provide substantive support for this transmission route (Ai et al., 2019; Li et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2017).”
A Review of the Research Literature on Evidence-Based Healthcare Design (2008, background): “Yet questions remain regarding the minimum ventilation requirements needed for effective prevention of infections (Li et al., 2007).”
