Abstract The air quality of enclosed spaces has attracted great attention due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. infection risk in these can be estimated for various scenarios with different methods so important parameters and effective prevention measures compared. Previous studies showed that indoor CO 2 concentration could considered a surrogate risk. In this regard, generic relation established between levels probability. Based on consideration, some practical evaluations are conducted study. effect mask efficiency, viral emission rate, duration exposure also included assessments. It is shown continuous monitoring helpful evaluation possible preventive measures. Findings expected contribute understanding simple related
