Abstract:Aircraft cabins have high-performance ventilation systems, yet typically
hold large numbers of people in close proximity for long periods. The
current study estimated airborne virus exposure and infection reductions
for vacant middle seats and masking in aircraft. Tracer particle data
reported by U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) and CFD simulations
reported by Boeing were used, along with NIOSH data, to build nonlinear
regression models with particle exposure and distance from particle
source as variable… Show more
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.
