Estimation of airborne viral emission: Quanta emission rate of SARS-CoV-2 for infection risk assessment.
TL;DR: A novel approach to estimate the viral Load emitted by a contagious subject on the basis of the viral load in the mouth, the type of respiratory activity, respiratory physiological parameters, and activity level is proposed and shows that high quanta emission rates can be reached by an asymptomatic infectious SARS-CoV-2 subject performing vocalization during light activities.

Giorgio Ficco,Fabio Iannetta,Elvira Ianniello,Francesca Romana d’Ambrosio Alfano,Marco Dell'Isola +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of an experimental campaign aimed both to assess the metrological performance of HFMs and to evaluate the influence of the ambient conditions on in situ U-value accuracy.

Airborne particle emission of a commercial 3D printer: the effect of filament material and printing temperature.
TL;DR: In this article, a low-cost desktop 3D printer based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) principle was used to evaluate particle emission rates (ERs) and factors such as particle number, alveolar-deposited surface area, and mass concentrations.

The effect of natural ventilation strategy on indoor air quality in schools
Luca Stabile,Marco Dell'Isola,Aldo Giovanni Giuliano Russi,Angelamaria Massimo,Giorgio Buonanno +4 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the effect of the manual airing strategy on indoor air quality in Italian classrooms revealed that the airing strategy differently affect the several pollutants detected in indoors depending on their size, origin and dynamics.

Effect of natural ventilation and manual airing on indoor air quality in naturally ventilated Italian classrooms
Luca Stabile,Marco Dell'Isola,Andrea Frattolillo,Angelamaria Massimo,Aldo Giovanni Giuliano Russi +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of the ventilation on indoor air quality in Italian classrooms and found that even in classrooms characterized by a poor maintenance state, the permeability of the envelopes was too low to guarantee acceptable air exchange rates.

Ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality
TL;DR: Janssen as discussed by the authors has served as chairman of SPC 62-1981R since 1983 when an early review of Standard 62- 1981 was started, and has also served as vice-chairman of the committee that produced Standard 621981.

Particle emission factors during cooking activities
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between exposure to particles emitted by cooking activities and their subsequent effects on health cannot be evaluated without understanding the properties of the emitted aerosol or the main parameters that influence particle emissions during cooking.

Analyzing a database of residential air leakage in the United States
Wanyu R. Chan,Wanyu R. Chan,William W. Nazaroff,Phillip N. Price,Michael D. Sohn,Ashok J. Gadgil +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed more than 70,000 air leakage measurements in houses across the United States to relate leakage area to readily available building characteristics such as building size, year built, geographic region, and various construction characteristics.

Estimation of Infiltration from Leakage and Climate Indicators.
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model is developed for the estimation of annual infiltration rates in single-family houses using indicators for both house tightness (air changes at 50 Pa) and site climate (the leakage-infiltration ratio).
