Resuspension of viruses and other biological particles from surfaces and clothing
Particle resuspension could be an exposure pathway for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Resuspension has already proven to be important for exposure to other bioaerosols in occupied indoor environments. In addition, early findings during the COVID-19 pandemic indicate that the virus is prevalent in areas with high human activity and low ventilation, such as changing rooms in hospitals. This webinar will examine resuspension as a potential exposure pathway and identify areas that require more attention to better characterize this source.
