Impact of supplementary air filtration on aerosols and particulate matter in a UK hospital ward: a case study

BACKGROUND: Aerosol spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major problem in hospitals, leading to an increase in supplementary high-efficiency particulate air filtration aimed at reducing nosocomial transmission. This article reports a natural experiment that occ...
