consider indoor infection of airborne pathogens and specific the state of knowledge about building management, considerations of schools and public transit. The ventilation, and air cleaning for respiratory airborne workshop rapporteurs prepared this Proceedings as a pathogens; b)

In addition, Don vehicles, trade-offs of improving air quality with energy Milton (University of Maryland, College Park) stated that efficiency, unequal access to resources, absence of the first step in reducing airborne infection is managing standards that effectively address airborne pathogen and engineering controls, the next step is administrative other contaminants, communication, and the importance changes, and the last step would be individual behavioral of a multidisciplinary teams and systems approach.

is warranted in these cases. making Implementing measures based on other known pathogens can sometimes lead to misplaced resources 6 A fomite is an object or material that can carry infectious particles and contribute to the spread of communicable diseases.

For example, it was suggested improving indoor air quality. For example, Miller shared that including outdoor air during the ventilation process a case study in Seoul, South Korea, where multiple people can improve air quality and reduce the number of contracted COVID-19 due to air transmission between infectious particles in a building.

For example, speakers mentioned that Ventilation systems are designed as either natural or filters remove viral particles but not CO2 from the air, mechanical systems. Mechanical ventilation is equipment which may affect transmission risk assessment in spaces that circulates fresh air, outdoor air or partly reused air, that have good air filtration.

These DIY air cleaners were initially developed by and real-world conditions as described by several undergraduate students for use in churches and other speakers, along with in-duct UV, demonstrated a 30% facilities during the pandemic, said Quinn. reduction even without outdoor air flowing into the system.

For decades, UV at a wavelength of 254nm has been used VARIABILITY IN ENCLOSED SPACES AND AT-RISK POPULATIONS Considering the plurality of indoor spaces to clean the upper parts of rooms, but to be effective, Transportation experts highlighted the differences in speakers said that the air needs to be mixed well. Several improving air quality in public transit vehicles and speakers suggested rooms be designed to allow for systems as compared to buildings.

A study showed that incorporating the which do not have good natural ventilation and need to concerns, values, and behaviors of enclosed spaces be supplemented with air filtration. inhabitants into designing engineering controls makes Variability or absence of air quality standards engineered components more effective and perceived as Speakers explored the importance of regulations, more protective.16 Crouse-Quinn stated that engineering mandated standards, oversight, and enforcement controls can be part of the solution, especially if they are measures to reduce airborne viral particles and improve passive and do not result in huge demands on people.

Furthermore, decision makers, such as facility or transportation multiple speakers discussed the importance of working managers, would likely benefit from access to real-time with members of different groups (e.g., the workforce, data about ventilation performance or the presence of teachers, students and parents, and riders) that can help infectious agents to assess exposure risks to workers or public health officials address issues, overcome barriers, operators, act appropriately by providing the necessary and become familiar with the cultures of different actors tools on the ground, and communicate with workers who play roles in reducing transmission of airborne to help "alleviates anxieties" as Wu noted.

risk of virus transmission, the California Department of Public Health engaged key audiences to build trust, Importance of translating scientific knowledge to decision-making understand needs, and understand the various issues, and communication with local communities barriers, and cultures affecting the implementation of Throughout the workshop series, many participants various engineering and behavioral measures. Because highlighted the importance of messaging and public health practitioners do not operate in workplaces, communication for ensuring continued air quality engagement with occupational health and safety experts improvement for airborne pathogens and other was viewed by several speakers as being a critical part contaminants.

The fundamentals of ventilation, filtration, and UV systems in existing buildings were underscored by REFLECTIONS opportunities for further refinement and integration Many speakers who participated in this workshop series with behavioral considerations. Some participants also highlighted the critical importance of acknowledging described considerations related to equitable funding, the aerosol transmission of infectious diseases, such as the development of standards in schools and public SARS-CoV-2 and other agents, and the effectiveness transportation, and focusing on at-risk populations, of combining measures, such as the use of masks, including workers who are asked to work in enclosed ventilation, filtration, UV, and communication, to spaces during pandemics.
