Abstract
This collection reviews various strategies for controlling airborne pathogen transmission, including SARS-CoV-2, in indoor environments. Key approaches encompass advanced ventilation and filtration systems, such as HEPA filters and increased air changes, alongside germicidal ultraviolet (UVGI) light technologies, including far-UVC and upper-room applications. The papers also explore portable air cleaners, HVAC modifications in healthcare settings, and the critical role of masks and respirators. Furthermore, specific methods like disinfectant fogging and aerosol control in dental offices are discussed. Overall, these interventions aim to reduce pathogen dissemination and protect public health.
