Indoor air as a vehicle for human pathogens: Introduction, objectives, and expectation of outcome	2016-09-02		.txt	text/plain	2721	103	33	key: cord-330463-j4cf7vzs authors: Sattar, Syed A. title: Indoor air as a vehicle for human pathogens: Introduction, objectives, and expectation of outcome date: 2016-09-02 journal: Am J Infect Control DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2016.06.010 sha: doc_id: 330463 cord_uid: j4cf7vzs Airborne spread of pathogens can be rapid, widespread, and difficult to prevent. In this international workshop, a panel of 6 experts will expound on the following: (1) the potential for indoor air to spread a wide range of human pathogens, plus engineering controls to reduce the risk for exposure to airborne infectious agents; (2) the behavior of aerosolized infectious agents indoors and the use of emerging air decontamination technologies; (3) a survey of quantitative methods to recover infectious agents and their surrogates from indoor air with regard to survival and inactivation of airborne pathogens; (4) mathematical models to predict the movement of pathogens indoors and the use of such information to optimize the benefits of air decontamination technologies; and (5) synergy between different infectious agents, such as legionellae and fungi, in the built environment predisposing to possible transmission-related health impacts of aerosolized biofilm-based opportunistic pathogens.	cache/cord-330463-j4cf7vzs.txt	txt/cord-330463-j4cf7vzs.txt
