Reducing airborne infection risk of COVID-19 by locating air cleaners at proper positions indoor: Analysis with a simple model

Hui Dai et al.

Summary: This study proposes a simple model to calculate the mean droplet nucleus concentration by regressing an equation of seven similarity criteria, and estimates the airborne infection risk when portable air cleaners (PACs) are located in different positions based on the Wells-Riley equation. The results show that placing PACs in the center of the room is the optimal choice under the condition that the airflow rate of PACs is higher than a certain level.

Investigation of airborne particle exposure in an office with mixing and displacement ventilation

Sumei Liu et al.

Summary: Effective ventilation is crucial in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in buildings. This study compared the performance of a mixing ventilation (MV) system and a displacement ventilation (DV) system in terms of air temperature and particle concentration. Increasing the ventilation rate reduced the particle concentration, but the improvement was not proportional to the ventilation rate. The DV system had a higher ventilation effectiveness than the MV system, making it a better choice for indoor air quality.

Bioaerosol distribution characteristics and potential SARS-CoV-2 infection risk in a multi-compartment dental clinic

Zhijian Liu et al.

Summary: This study used computational fluid dynamics to investigate the distribution of bioaerosols in a multi-compartment dental clinic. The results showed that bioaerosols were mainly distributed in the areas where patients were treated, posing a certain risk of infection. The average infection probability for dental staff was 3.8%, and the deposition of bioaerosols on surfaces created a potential risk of contact transmission. There was also a certain cross-infection risk between adjacent compartments, with an average infection probability of 0.84% for patients. The bioaerosol concentrations in the working areas significantly decreased 30 minutes after treatment, reducing the infection probability to less than 0.05%.

Summary: The study found that increasing air supply velocity can enhance dispersion of bioaerosol particles, improving cleanliness in the surgical area up to a certain point but potentially leading to increased deposition at higher speeds. An air supply velocity between 0.24 m/s and 0.29 m/s was identified as the optimal range to control bioaerosol concentration, while the distribution of bioaerosol particles was found to be insensitive to changes in room temperature.

Relative humidity in droplet and airborne transmission of disease

Anze Bozic et al.

Summary: This review discusses the physical principles governing respiratory droplets and viruses trapped inside them, with a focus on the role of relative humidity. Low relative humidity facilitates evaporation and keeps large droplets suspended in the air as aerosols for extended periods of time, affecting the stability of viruses. Understanding the role of relative humidity in droplet spread of diseases can help in designing preventive measures to reduce transmission chances, particularly in indoor environments.
