The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that basic questions regarding how to minimise the risk of airborne infection transmission for any respiratory viruses remain unanswered, despite their frequency and huge social and economic costs. Therefore, this project aims to expand scientific knowledge and develop practical tools to improve the resilience of Australian indoor environments against airborne transmission of respiratory viruses. The outcomes of the project conducted by a multidisciplinary international team of collaborators will include: (i) quantitative knowledge on virus-laden aerosols from human expiration; and (ii) exposure and infection risk models and their application to typical indoor building and transport scenarios.

2019冠状病毒病疫情表明，尽管呼吸道病毒传播频率高，且社会和经济成本巨大，但如何将空气传播风险降至最低的基本问题仍未得到解决。 因此，该项目旨在扩大科学知识和开发实用工具，以提高澳大利亚室内环境对呼吸道病毒空气传播的抵御能力。该项目由一个多学科的国际合作者团队开展，其成果将包括：（i）关于人类呼气中携带病毒的气溶胶的定量知识;（ii）接触和感染风险模型及其在典型室内建筑和运输场景中的应用。
