US EPA swine flu presentation


This snippet is from the July 9 British Occupational Hygiene Society ebulletin and resonates with my views.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has issued a presentation put together by its Federal Interagency Committee for Indoor Air Quality on the transmission of viruses in indoor air and HVAC system protection options. www.epa.gov/iaq/ciaq/influenza_presentation.pdf

The presentation debunks the advice to clean hands and points to the importance of aerosols rather than droplets in the transmission of viral disease – and the importance of aerosols from toilets.
