Using portable air purifiers to reduce airborne transmission of infectious respiratory viruses – a computational fluid dynamics study

2021-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Aerosols and droplets generated from expiratory events play a critical role in the transmission of infectious respiratory viruses. Increasingly robust evidence has suggested the crucial role of fine aerosols in airborne transmission of respiratory diseases, which is now widely regarded as an important transmission path of COVID-19. In this report, we used CFD modelling to investigate the efficiency of using portab...
