Natural Ventilation for Infection Control in Health-Care Settings

Adequate ventilation can reduce the transmission of infection in health-care settings. Natural ventilation can be one of the effective environmental measures to reduce the risk of spread of infections in health care.

Airborne Infection: Transmission and Control
Richard L. Riley, Francis O'Grady
1961

https://books.google.ca/books?id=qztrAAAAMAAJ

Riley worked with Mr. Wells on aerobiology his whole life.

Mr. Wells wrote the book I mentioned a few posts up. He was the husband of Dr. Wells, who also worked on aerobiology but passed away in the 40s.

From "Airborne Contagion"

"Airborne transmission is the most important mode of transmission of respiratory infections from person to person indoors. It may well be the most important mode of transmission for other human infections not considered as primarily respiratory. There is published evidence of droplet nuclei transmission of hepatitis B virus, smallpox, rabies, chicken pox, mumps, measles as well as tuberculosis...."
