Improving Estimates of Social Contact Patterns for Airborne Transmission of Respiratory Pathogens.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Emerging infectious diseases [Emerg Infect Dis] 2022 Oct; Vol. 28 (10), pp. 2016-2026. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Sep 01.
Abstract: Data on social contact patterns are widely used to parameterize age-mixing matrices in mathematical models of infectious diseases. Most studies focus on close contacts only (i.e., persons spoken with face-to-face). This focus may be appropriate for stu...
Transmission characteristics of respiratory droplets aerosol in indoor environment: an experimental study.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International journal of environmental health research [Int J Environ Health Res] 2022 Aug; Vol. 32 (8), pp. 1768-1779. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Apr 07.
Abstract: Transmission of droplets has been recognized as an important form of infection for the respiratory diseases. This study investigated the distribution of human respiratory droplets and assessed the effects of air change rate and generated velocity on dr...
A practical approach to defining aerosol-generating procedures.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Infection control and hospital epidemiology [Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol] 2022 Aug; Vol. 43 (8), pp. 1083-1084. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Apr 19.
Characterization of aerosol plumes from singing and playing wind instruments associated with the risk of airborne virus transmission.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Indoor air [Indoor Air] 2022 Jun; Vol. 32 (6), pp. e13064.
Abstract: The exhalation of aerosols during musical performances or rehearsals posed a risk of airborne virus transmission in the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research studied aerosol plumes by only focusing on one risk factor, either the source strength or conve...
The effect of head orientation and personalized ventilation on bioaerosol deposition from a cough.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Indoor air [Indoor Air] 2022 Jan; Vol. 32 (1), pp. e12973. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Dec 09.
Abstract: Head orientations directly determine movement directions of exhaled pathogen-laden droplets, while there is a lack of research about the effect of the infected person's head orientations on respiratory disease transmission during close contact. This wo...
Aerosol containment device design considerations and performance evaluation metrics.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The American journal of emergency medicine [Am J Emerg Med] 2023 Feb; Vol. 64, pp. 12-20. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 11.
Abstract: Background: Spurred by the Coronavirus infectious disease 2019 pandemic, aerosol containment devices (ACDs) were developed to capture infectious respiratory aerosols generated by patients at their source. Prior reviews indicated that such devices had l...
Chlorine activation and enhanced ozone depletion induced by wildfire aerosol.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Mar; Vol. 615 (7951), pp. 259-264. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 08.
Abstract: Remarkable perturbations in the stratospheric abundances of chlorine species and ozone were observed over Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes following the 2020 Australian wildfires 1,2 . These changes in atmospheric chemical composition suggest that wil...
Aerosol-generating procedures: research, guidance and implementation.
Publication Type: Editorial & Opinion
Source(s): Anaesthesia [Anaesthesia] 2023 Feb; Vol. 78 (2), pp. 150-154. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Oct 05.
Expiratory Aerosol pH: The Overlooked Driver of Airborne Virus Inactivation.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science & technology [Environ Sci Technol] 2023 Jan 10; Vol. 57 (1), pp. 486-497. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 20.
Abstract: Respiratory viruses, including influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, are transmitted by the airborne route. Air filtration and ventilation mechanically reduce the concentration of airborne viruses and are necessary tools for disease mitigation. However, they...
Weight loss and abnormal lung inflammation in mice chronically exposed to secondary organic aerosols.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science. Processes & impacts [Environ Sci Process Impacts] 2023 Mar 22; Vol. 25 (3), pp. 382-388. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 22.
Abstract: Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) have emerged recently as a major component of fine particulate matter. Cell culture studies revealed a role for SOAs in cell oxidative stress, toxicity and inflammation and only a few studies investigated short-term SO...
