Ten questions concerning the microbiomes of buildings (2016, background): “varied over wide ranges, which can result in differential survival and persistence rates [53-57].”
Recognition of aerosol transmission of infectious agents: a commentary (2019, background): “For example, tighter control of the environment may reduce or prevent airborne transmission by: 1) isolating infectious patients in a single-bed, negative pressure isolation room [25] ; 2) controlling environmental relative humidity to reduce airborne influenza survival [59] ; 3) reducing exposure f”
Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses (2021, background): “Temperature is critical in mediating the survival and transmission of viruses in aerosols (125, 128, 129), likely by affecting the stability of the proteins, lipids, and genetic material that make up the virus.”
How can airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors be minimised? (2020, neutral): “Various studies have been performed on the survival of airborne pathogens (Brown et al., 2015; Kim et al., 2016; Kormuth et al., 2018; Kulkarni et al., 2016; Marr et al., 2019; Pyankov et al., 2018; Tang 2009).”
