Join us and learn from Dr. Mark Ereth about the differences among the airborne pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, and what recent studies have shown about the challenges of removing and destroying them from the air that we breathe. He will also discuss the dangers of breathing all small airborne particulates and other airborne chemical compounds, and how absorbing them can cause damage to virtually every organ in the body.
This video illustrates how droplets from a sneeze can be carried forward up to 7 to 8 m (26 ft). This newer understanding of respiratory emission dynamics, explained in a recent article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, has implications for mask and respiratory design, social distancing recommendations, and other public health interventions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
