Identifying the exact transmission route(s) of infectious diseases in indoor environments is a crucial step developing effective intervention strategies. In this study, we proposed comparative analysis approach and built model to simulate outbreaks 3 different in-flight infections similar cabin environment, that is, influenza A H1N1, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV), norovirus. The simulation results seemed suggest close contact route was probably most significant...
Ventilation systems for commercial airliner cabins are important in reducing contaminant transport and maintaining thermal comfort. To evaluate the performance of a personalized displacement ventilation system, conventional mixing this study first used Wells-Riley equation integrated with CFD to obtain SARS quanta value based on specific outbreak flight. This investigation then compared three seven-row section fully occupied, economy-class cabin Boeing 737 767 airplanes. The generation rate...
Surfaces and objects surround us, touching them is integral to everyday life. Pathogen contaminated surfaces (fomites) are known transmit diseases. However, little about the ways speed at which become contaminated. We found that under certain conditions, number of grows logistically, corresponding possible rapid transmission infection. In such a surface network, pathogen can be transmitted great distances quickly-as far as people move. contamination network in aircraft cabins exhibits...
Overhead gaspers are prevalently installed in aircraft cabins as a personalized ventilation system. The air distribution with on is crucial for creating thermally comfortable and healthy cabin environment. However, very few studies have investigated the suitable turbulence model to simulation turned on. This study first conducted experimental measurements of airflow mock-up half full-scale, one-row, single-aisle gasper Particle image velocimetry was used measure complex field above human...
The identification of key VOCs during flights is important in creating a satisfactory aircraft cabin environment. Two VOC databases for the building indoor environment (from 251 occupied residences) and 56 commercial flights) were compared, to determine common compounds (detection rate (DR) > 70%) two environments characteristic (only those with high DR cabins. Possible emission sources also discussed. As TVOC usually viewed as general indicator air quality, prediction concentration was...
Gaspers installed in commercial airliner cabins are used to improve passengers' thermal comfort. To understand the impact of gasper airflow on air quality a cabin, this investigation measured distributions velocity, temperature, and gaseous contaminant concentration five rows economy-class section an MD-82 aircraft. The was simulated using SF6 as tracer gas with source located at mouth seated manikin close aisle. Two-fifths gaspers next aisle were turned each them supplied flow rate 0.66...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a non-negligible aircraft cabin air quality (CAQ) factor influence the health and comfort of passengers crew members. On-board measurements carbonyls (short-chain (C1-C6)) other volatile (VOCs, long-chain (C6-C16)) with total 350 samples were conducted in 56 commercial airliner cabins covering 8 models this study. The mean concentration for each individual carbonyl compound was between 0.3 8.3 μg/m3 (except acrolein & acetone, average = 20.7 μg/m3)...
