DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202102888
Abstract: Surface‐deposited pathogens are sources for the spread of infectious diseases. Protecting public facilities with a replaceable or recyclable antifouling coating is a promising approach to control pathogen transmission. However, most antifouling coatings are less effective… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2020.113599
Abstract: Abstract Background COVID-19 can be transmitted directly through respiratory droplets or indirectly through fomites. SARS-CoV-2 has been detected on various environmental surfaces, air samples and sewage in hospital and community settings. Methods Environmental samples were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2020-047772
Abstract: Objectives In COVID-19, transfer of respiratory materials transmits disease and drives the pandemic but the interplay of droplet and aerosol physics, physiology and environment is not fully understood. To advance understanding of disease transmission mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/fluids6030119
Abstract: The precautionary measures recommended during the current COVID-19 pandemic do not consider the effect of turbulent airflow. We found the propagation of droplets and aerosols highly affected by this condition. The spread of respiratory droplets… read more here.
