Fighting COVID-19 Transmission in Inside Spaces
A recent story on tv station KARE-11 featured MSI PI Chris Hogan (professor, Mechanical Engineering) talking about how upgrades to building ventilation systems can help inhibit the spread of COVID-19. Upgraded ventilation systems, as well as inexpensive methods such as opening windows and changing filters, can keep the coronavirus from spreading in aerosol drops. The story can be found on the KARE-11 website: Preparing for an office or classroom return? Experts say forget the plexiglass.
Professor Hogan uses MSI systems to run calculations for a several projects involving the physics and chemistry governing aerosols.
