Pandemic Engineering: Tools for Lowering Risk and Spread of Infection
UC Davis's dean of engineering, Richard L. Corsi, Ph.D., P.E., is an internationally recognized expert in the field of indoor air quality, with a specific interest in physical and chemical interactions between pollutants and indoor materials. Corsi discusses "pandemic engineering" and approaches to disrupt transmission by reducing the inhaled dose of respiratory aerosols, including the highly effective and relatively low-cost do-it-yourself air cleaner for respiratory aerosols that has become known as the "Corsi-Rosenthal box."
