Modulation of air-conditioning settings to destroy respiratory viruses

该项目旨在证明，控制环境湿度可以迅速降解空气传播的病毒。对于包括流感和普通感冒在内的病毒病原体，人们对环境湿度和空气传播感染之间的关系知之甚少。该项目将证明，室内环境条件可以很容易地被操纵来杀死空气传播的病毒。这些发现将被用于制定针对病毒脆弱性的室内空气湿度控制指南，以最大限度地减少空气传播的感染。

This project aims to prove that manipulating the ambient humidity can rapidly degrade airborne viruses. The relationship between ambient humidity and airborne infection is poorly understood for viral pathogens including influenza and the common cold. The project will prove that indoor environmental conditions can be easily manipulated to kill airborne viruses. The findings will be used to develop indoor air humidity control guidelines targeting the vulnerabilities of the viruses to minimise airborne infection.
