Airborne concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor community environments in Italy

Marianna Conte et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in different community indoor settings in Italy, finding that with the use of facemasks, the risk of airborne transmission is low. The results suggest that enforcing restrictive policies and maintaining physical distance can effectively reduce the risk of airborne transmission.

A review on measurements of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in air in outdoor and indoor environments: Implication for airborne transmission

Adelaide Dinoi et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in different environments based on 73 published papers. The results show that hospitals and healthcare settings have higher proportions and rates of positive samples, while community indoors have lower concentrations. The concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in air are highly variable and generally lower outdoors compared to indoors.

Infectious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Exhaled Aerosols and Efficacy of Masks During Early Mild Infection

Oluwasanmi O. Adenaiye et al.

Summary: Exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosols are infectious and the virus is evolving to generate more efficient aerosols. Loose-fitting masks can moderately reduce viral aerosol release, but to protect vulnerable individuals in public-facing jobs and indoor spaces, ventilation, filtration, UV air sanitation, and tight-fitting masks are needed.

The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in indoor air of dental clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic

Shahriyar Bazzazpour et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 RNA was found in the indoor air of dental clinics in Iran, with its presence significantly related to sampling site volume, PM2.5 concentration, number of people, and active patient treatment units. Strategies to control the spread of COVID-19 should focus on reducing infected individuals in dental clinics, installing filtration systems, and improving ventilation conditions.

Airborne SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in hospital environment using high-flowrate air samplers and its comparison to surface sampling

Alicia X. Y. Ang et al.

Summary: Reliable methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in crowded venues are crucial for epidemiological surveillance. This study assessed the feasibility of using high-flowrate air samplers for airborne SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in a hospital setting, showing a higher success rate at 150 L/min compared to surface swabs.

Exposure to particulate matter: Direct and indirect role in the COVID-19 pandemic

Ana Santurtun et al.

Summary: Understanding the role of Particulate Matter (PM) in the COVID-19 pandemic is important for preventing outbreaks. Exposure to PM has been linked to new cases and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. PM can cause oxidative stress and inflammation in the respiratory system, and it plays a role in the expression of ACE-2 in respiratory cells. SARS-CoV-2 RNA has also been detected in PM samples from indoor and outdoor environments. If PM is confirmed as a transmission vector, prevention strategies may need to be adapted and PM sampling could indicate viral load in specific areas.

Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 via aerosols

Laura Comber et al.

Summary: This review aimed to synthesize evidence for potential airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 via aerosols. The findings suggest possible aerosol transmission, but evidence is inconclusive. While viral particles have been detected in air sampling studies with some evidence of clinical infectivity, uncertainty remains regarding the nature and impact of aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Outdoor Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and Other Respiratory Viruses: A Systematic Review

Tommaso Celeste Bulfone et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that only a small proportion of global SARS-CoV-2 infections have occurred outdoors, with indoor transmission being more likely compared to outdoor transmission. There is considerable heterogeneity in study quality and definitions of outdoor settings, which limits the ability to draw definitive conclusions about outdoor transmission risks.

SARS-CoV-2: a systematic review of indoor air sampling for virus detection

Joao Tito Borges et al.

Summary: Indoor air monitoring may be necessary post-pandemic to safeguard public health, and well-defined methods, protocols, and equipment play a crucial role in this. A literature review on indoor air sampling methods for detecting viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2, suggests that solid impactors are more effective than liquid impactors or filters, and combining various methods may be recommended for optimal efficacy.

Summary: Key challenges in studying the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 diffusion and environment include the lack of standardization in indoor and outdoor air sampling methods. To address this, methods such as developing recovery tests, employing multiple samplers simultaneously, and confirming results with simplified emission and dilution models have been proposed to improve the quality and reliability of data collection.

Determination of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in different particulate matter size fractions of outdoor air samples in Madrid during the lockdown

Beatriz Linillos-Pradillo et al.

Summary: The study investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in outdoor air samples collected in Madrid in May 2020, but found no evidence of the virus. The absence of viral genomes could be attributed to factors such as limited social interactions and economic activities reducing the circulation of the coronavirus, lower daily PM concentrations in outdoor air, as well as meteorological stability and higher temperatures in the spring season. Further research is suggested during winter months when viral circulation may be higher and daily PM levels exceedances are more likely to occur.

Summary: This study evaluated the quality of hospital indoor air in detecting SARS-CoV-2, with no virus detected in air samples taken 2 to 5 meters away from the patients' beds. It is suggested that airborne transmission may not have much effect on the pandemic, although results could have been impacted by patients being hospitalized in negative pressure rooms.
