Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Airborne Transmission of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Ignatius Tak-sun Yu,Yuguo Li,Tze Wai Wong,Wilson W.S. Tam,Andy Chan,Joseph H.W. Lee,Dennis Y.C. Leung,Thomas C. Ho +7 more
TL;DR: Airborne spread of the virus appears to explain this large community outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong, and future efforts at prevention and control must take into consideration the potential for airborne spread of this virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of air distribution in SARS transmission during the largest nosocomial outbreak in Hong Kong.
TL;DR: The study revealed the need for the development of improved ventilation and air-conditioning systems in an isolation ward or a general hospital ward for infectious respiratory diseases and demonstrated that there was room for improvement to minimize cross-infection in large general hospital wards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose-response relationship between cooking fumes exposures and lung cancer among Chinese nonsmoking women.
TL;DR: Cumulative exposure to cooking by means of any form of frying could increase the risk of lung cancer in Hong Kong nonsmoking women and practical means to reduce exposures to cooking fumes should be given top priority in future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis on dose–response relationship between night shift work and the risk of breast cancer
Feng Wang,King Lun Yeung,Wing-cheong Chan,Carol Kwok,S.L. Leung,Cherry Wu,Emily Ying Yang Chan,Ignatius Tak-sun Yu,Xiaohong Rose Yang,Lap Ah Tse +9 more
TL;DR: The evidence that a positive dose-response relationship is likely to present for breast cancer with increasing years of employment and cumulative shifts involved in the work is updated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi‐zone modeling of probable SARS virus transmission by airflow between flats in Block E, Amoy Gardens
TL;DR: The study revealed the need for a review of indoor air quality and ventilation design in buildings including offices, homes and hotels and has implications to public health in the control of other airborne respiratory infectious diseases and in bio-terror safety in buildings.
