On the optimal indoor air conditions for sars-cov-2 inactivation. An enthalpy-based approach

In the CoViD-19 pandemic, the precautionary approach suggests that all possible measures should be established and implemented to avoid contagion, including through aerosols. For indoor spaces, the virulence of SARS-CoV-2 could be mitigated not only via air changes, but also by heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems maintaining thermodynamic conditions possibly adverse to the virus. However, data available in literature on virus survival were never treated aiming to this.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, microbial air contamination and surgical site infection in hip and knee arthroplasties: the GISIO-SItI Ischia study

BACKGROUND: Recenti studi hanno messo in discussione il ruolo del sistema unidirezionale di ventilazione del flusso d'aria nel ridurre l'infezione del sito chirurgico (SSI) nella chirurgia implantare protesica.
