How Do We Study Aerosol Transmission in Epidemiology?
Epidemiologists use various methods to study aerosol transmission, including:
- [Contact Tracing](href): Identifying and tracking individuals who have been in close contact with an infected person to determine the spread of disease. - [Modeling](href): Using mathematical models to simulate aerosol behavior and predict transmission patterns. - [Field Studies](href): Conducting observational studies in real-world settings to gather data on how aerosols behave and how transmission occurs. - [Laboratory Experiments](href): Using controlled environments to study the properties of aerosols and the viability of pathogens within them.
