Airborne pathogens diffusion: A comparison between tracer gas and pigmented aerosols for indoor environment analysis

Airborne pathogens diffusion: A comparison between tracer gas and pigmented aerosols for indoor environment analysis

The evaluation of airborne pathogens diffusion is a crucial practice in preventing airborne diseases like COVID-19, especially in indoor environments. Through this transmission route, pathogens can be carried by droplets, droplet nuclei and aerosols and be conveyed over long distances. Therefore, un...
