Influenza seasonality and its environmental driving factors in mainland China and Hong Kong

Sheikh Taslim Ali et al.

Summary: The study found that absolute humidity is a key factor influencing the seasonality of influenza, showing a U-shaped association with transmissibility and able to predict the transmission patterns of influenza virus in different climate zones. Other climatic factors and holiday-related school closures also have a certain impact on influenza transmission.

Virus Dynamics and Decay in Evaporating Human Saliva Droplets on Fomites

Zi-Meng Kong et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of relative humidity (RH) on virus viability in droplet residues on surfaces. The research findings support the existence of a U-shaped relationship between virus viability and RH, with viruses surviving better at low and high RH. The study also proposes a phenomenological theory and a quantitative model to explain and analyze the observed phenomenon.

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.

Effect of meteorological factors on the activity of influenza in Chongqing, China, 2012-2019

Li Qi et al.

Summary: This study found inverted J-shaped nonlinear associations between mean temperature, absolute humidity, wind speed, sunshine, and influenza activity, as well as a J-shaped nonlinear association between relative humidity and influenza activity. The relationship between aggregate rainfall and influenza activity could be described with a U-shaped curve.

Correlating indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity in a sample of buildings in tropical climates

Jin Pan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significant influence of indoor climate on the incidence and transmission of respiratory viral infections, particularly in tropical regions. Stronger correlations between indoor temperature, humidity, and outdoor data were found in locations further from the equator, with correlations weakening during the wet season and when air conditioning was in use.

Florin Marcu et al.

Summary: Monitoring the indoor microclimate in an old wooden church dating back to the 1710s in Romania revealed very high fungal contamination in the air and on surfaces, posing potential risks to parishioners and visitors as well as threatening the preservation of the church as a historical monument.
