Seminar 17 -- Aircraft Cabin Air Quality, Airborne Disease Exposures and Ventilation Controls PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Aircraft cabin is a special type of built environment with many people crowding within narrow spaces for a short period time whereas under higher risk of exposures to airborne diseases than other indoor situations. This seminar enlightens the public about critical issues of air quality, airborne disease transmission and health impacts, and ventilation control strategies specialized for aircraft cabins. It reports the most recent state-of-the-art research and development including airborne particle and droplet testing and simulation methods, their spreading through diffusers, inside the cabins, and from the lavatories and toilets, and the ventilation controls by a new personalized ventilation system.
