Airborne Viruses: Environment, Viability, Controls

This collection of studies underscores the critical role of airborne transmission in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. It demonstrates prolonged viral viability in aerosols, influenced by environmental factors like humidity and temperature. The research highlights the necessity for improved ventilation, air purification, and a deeper understanding of aerosol dynamics to mitigate transmission risks. These findings advocate for comprehensive public health strategies and environmental controls to effectively manage current and future airborne infectious disease threats.
