In this episode of the Talking Air Filtration Podcast, we are joined by Don Milton from the University of Maryland School of Public Health. Milton, an expert in infectious bioaerosols and respiratory virus transmission, discusses the importance of clean indoor air and the impact of airborne infections like COVID-19 and influenza. Highlights include detailed discussions on respiratory particle transmission, both through fine aerosols and surface contamination, and the effectiveness of various preventive measures such as masks, ventilation, and ultraviolet (UV) light. Milton emphasizes the critical role of engineering controls in controlling viral transmission and addresses the social implications and challenges of implementing these strategies. Insights from various studies underscore the need for layered prevention approaches in both public spaces and homes.
