In epidemiological prospective modelling, assessing the hypothetical infectious quanta emission rate (Eq) is critical for estimating airborne infection risk. Existing Eq models overlook environmental factors such as indoor relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T), despite their importance to droplet evaporation dynamics. Here we include these in a model based on probability functions with emitted distribution speaking coughing activities. Our results show have substantial influence Eq....
Abstract Despite the widespread assumption that outdoor environments provide sufficient ventilation and dilution capacity to mitigate risk of COVID-19 infection, there is little understanding airborne infection in urban areas with poor ventilation. To address this gap, we propose a modified Wells-Riley model based on purging flow rate ( Q PFR ), by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
