Characterization of the public transit air microbiome and resistome reveals geographical specificity
(2021-05-26)
Background
The public transit is a built environment with high occupant density across the globe, and identifying factors shaping public transit air microbiomes will help design strategies to minimize the transmission of ...
The subway microbiome: Seasonal dynamics and direct comparison of air and surface bacterial communities
(2019-12-19)
Background
Mass transit environments, such as subways, are uniquely important for transmission of microbes among humans and built environments, and for their ability to spread pathogens and impact large numbers of people. ...
Dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 in air surrounding COVID-19-infected individuals with mild symptoms
(2022-02-12)
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the transmission modes of SARS-CoV-2—particularly the role of aerosol transmission—have been much debated. Accumulating evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted by aerosols, ...
SARS-CoV-2 in the Air Surrounding Patients during Nebulizer Therapy
(2022-09-17)
Nebulizer therapy is commonly used for patients with obstructive pulmonary disease or acute pulmonary infections with signs of obstruction. It is considered a “potential aerosol-generating procedure,” and the risk of disease ...
