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.

Papers include "Spread of TB via recirculated air on a naval vessel", "The role of ventilation in the spread of measles in an elementary school", and

***Langmuir, former CDC director, admitting he got airborne spread wrong but also _herd immunity_.***

What is wrong with this field, honestly.
