Funded Activity Summary

Mechanisms of virus transport in indoor environments. The socio-economic benefits to Australia from the project will include the developed and validated model for quantification of virus spread and survival through aerosolation processes, which will become an important tool for: (i) prediction of the pathways of virus spread in indoor environment, and (ii) developing future directions for management and control for prevention or minimization the likelihood of human infections. The ultimate economic benefit of this research will be reduction in health care costs and lost productivity. The research will also place Australia in the forefront of international progress and race towards toward better methods for virus spread prevention.
