Channel: National Academies - Earth and Life Studies
Date: 2022-08-23

During the pandemic, improvements and tradeoffs in air quality management have led to different solutions and varying levels of success in various settings, often depending on resources and capabilities and rarely on robust scientific evidence. This first workshop in the series will engage multidisciplinary speakers and active participants to investigate the state of knowledge concerning building management to reduce the transmission of airborne pathogens. Speakers will highlight progress made since 2020, identify critical research gaps, and explore technical and social barriers to implementations. Participants will share their experiences with management of enclosed spaces during the pandemic and identify promising practices to be adopted to make these places safer.
