Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of Airborne Influenza Virus in Aerosol Particles from Human Coughs
William G. Lindsley,Francoise M. Blachere,Robert E. Thewlis,Abhishek Vishnu,Kristina A Davis,Gang Cao,Jan E. Palmer,Karen Clark,Melanie Fisher,Rashida Khakoo,Donald H. Beezhold +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that coughing by influenza patients emits aerosol particles containing influenza virus and that much of the viral RNA is contained within particles in the respirable size range, supporting the idea that the airborne route may be a pathway for influenza transmission, especially in the immediate vicinity of an influenza patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Airborne Influenza Virus in a Hospital Emergency Department
Francoise M. Blachere,William G. Lindsley,Terri A. Pearce,Stacey E. Anderson,Melanie Fisher,Rashida Khakoo,Barbara J. Meade,Owen Lander,Stephen M. Davis,Robert E. Thewlis,Ismail Celik,Bean T. Chen,Donald H. Beezhold +12 more
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that influenza virus may spread through the airborne route and use real-time polymerase chain reaction to confirm the presence of airborne influenza virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantity and size distribution of cough-generated aerosol particles produced by influenza patients during and after illness.
William G. Lindsley,Terri A. Pearce,Judith B. Hudnall,Kristina A Davis,Stephen M. Davis,Melanie Fisher,Rashida Khakoo,Jan E. Palmer,Karen Clark,Ismail Celik,Christopher C. Coffey,Francoise M. Blachere,Donald H. Beezhold +12 more
TL;DR: An enhancement in aerosol generation during illness may play an important role in influenza transmission and suggests that a better understanding of this phenomenon is needed to predict the production and dissemination of influenza-laden aerosols by people infected with this virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) on N95 Respirator Filtration Performance and Structural Integrity
William G. Lindsley,Stephen B. Martin,Robert E. Thewlis,Khachatur Sarkisian,Julian Nwoko,Kenneth R. Mead,John D. Noti +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that UVGI could be used to effectively disinfect disposable respirators for reuse, but the maximum number of disinfection cycles will be limited by the respirator model and the UVGI dose required to inactivate the pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of face shields against cough aerosol droplets from a cough simulator.
William G. Lindsley,John D. Noti,Francoise M. Blachere,Jonathan V. Szalajda,Donald H. Beezhold +4 more
TL;DR: The results show that health care workers can inhale infectious airborne particles while treating a coughing patient, and face shields provide a useful adjunct to respiratory protection for workers caring for patients with respiratory infections.
