Factors affecting aerosol SARS-CoV-2 transmission via HVAC systems; a modeling study

Table 2

Increasing ACH, filter MERV rating, and the FOA reduce simulated SARS-CoV-2 infections with an emission rate of 3,000 PFU / min.

UVC filtration and in-room air filters also reduce SARS-CoV-2 infections. Percent changes are shown relative to the highlighted baseline for each mitigation strategy (i.e., 0% change).
