DOIAbstract
The airborne transmission of the COVID-19 virus was considered the main cause of infection. The increasing concern about the virus spread in confined spaces, characterized by high crowding indexes and an often-inadequate air exchange system, pushes the scientific community to the design of many studies aimed at improving indoor air quality. The risk of transmission depends on several factors such as droplet properties, virus characteristics, and indoor airflow patterns. The main transmission route of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to humans is the respiratory route through small (<100 μm) and large droplets. In an indoor environment, the air exchange plays a fundamental role on the dispersion of the droplets. In this study, an integrated approach was...
