Highlights
SARS-CoV-2 virus can be detected in PM air using 0.22 µm pore filters.
The virus presence was observed only in the close areas from patients in hospitals.
Sampling air during 3 h was sufficient time for virus detect.
The system implemented for air sampling can be used for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in high-risk environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
