Can Airflow Patterns be Modified to Reduce Disease Spread?
Yes, modifying airflow patterns can significantly reduce the spread of airborne diseases. Strategies include increasing [natural ventilation](), using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, employing ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), and optimizing HVAC settings. Implementing such measures can create safer indoor environments, particularly in high-risk areas like hospitals and care homes.
