Bioaerosol Characterisation, Transportation and Transmission

This book aims to predict and model the transport of bioaerosols, identify their transmission characteristics, and assess occupants¿ infection risks.
Although existing epidemiological books provide fundamental infection rate of existing diseases, the ability of predicting emerging disease transmission in the air and assessing occupants¿ infection risks to the bioaerosols is significantly lacking. This book is considered as a professional book that provides in-depth discussion of the aforementioned issues and provides potential approaches to solve these issues would be highly demanded by readers in this emerging research field. This book offers essential and systematic analysis on the fate of bioaerosols from their release in the air to the final destination in human¿s respiratory systems through direct 3D visualizations techniques. It also provides quantifiable method to assess each occupant¿s infection risks to the infectious bioaerosols in indoor environments.
The readers will gain essential fundamental characteristics of bioaerosols (active time, viability, etc.) and will gain the advanced skills on how to integrate these properties into numerical modeling and assess the occupants¿ exposure risks.
