Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses

Chia C. Wang et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of traditional respiratory virus transmission pathways, highlighting the need for updates. Improved understanding of aerosol transmission through studies of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection calls for a reassessment of major transmission pathways for other respiratory viruses, enabling better control measures to reduce airborne transmission.

Putting Fine Particulate Matter and Dementia in the Wider Context of Noncommunicable Disease: Where are We Now and What Should We Do Next: A Systematic Review

Ruth Peters et al.

Summary: Air pollution, especially fine particulate matter like PM2.5, is a risk factor for various noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and is emerging as a risk factor for dementia. While there is growing evidence for PM2.5's impact on dementia, the evidence is not as strong as it is for other NCDs. Varied measurement and methodology issues currently hinder clarity in the field.
