Particulate matter (PM) resuspension from indoor surfaces is one of the leading causes of
occupant exposure to PM. It has been recognized as a main source of indoor air pollution by …

Negative pressure isolation wards could provide safety for health care workers (HCWs) and
patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, respiratory behavior releases aerosols …

The purpose of this paper is to determine the dispersion and distribution characteristics of
exhaled airflow for accurate prediction of disease transmission. The development of airflow …

Abstract PM 2.5 and NO 2 concentrations were measured simultaneously indoors and
outdoors for ten different city centre buildings (shops and offices) in Dublin, Ireland. Outdoor …

Particle dispersion can be influenced by human activities' inducing effect, which may not be
allowed in high-demanded cleanness environment, such as operation room. The application …

Bacteria-carrying particles (BCPs) shed from surgical staff during surgery are one of the
main causes of postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), and the dynamic nature of …

In California, the majority of office and other nondomestic buildings use mechanical cooling
and ventilation even when an optimized natural ventilation (NV) system could meet cooling …

Full-scale experiments and CFD simulations were performed to study potential inter-cubicle
airborne transmissions through a shared anteroom due to the hinged door opening. When …

Indoor temperature stratification can be weakened or even eliminated by human movement
in displacement ventilation (DV). Thus far, the investigations of temperature destratification …

Walking and other human activities resuspend deposited pathogens from surfaces into the
air, potentially leading to infection through inhaling the bioaerosols. We performed …
