Listen "Indoor ventilation risk and mitigation of virus transmission with Dr. Brian Pavilonis (Episode 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In This Episode:
Looking for practical indoor ventilation tips to reduce the risk of cold and flu transmission during indoor gatherings and in public settings? With schools opening up to in-person learning, offices welcoming back their workers, and the winter chill keeping us indoors, it’s important to be informed about how viruses spread. You might be wondering, is a child more likely to contract covid-19 from a classmate, or from their teacher? How well-ventilated are NYC classrooms? Is it safe to go back to your cubicle? How can business owners, schools and landlords prepare for the next pandemic? The answers may surprise you.
This episode of Making Public Health Personal explores important research findings from a Certified Industrial Hygienist that can be applied to schools, offices, buildings and our homes. Host Laura Meoli-Ferrigon from the SPH Office of Online Learning is joined by Dr. Brian Pavilonis, Associate Professor at CUNY SPH who teaches courses in Industrial Hygiene, Noise and Radiation, Industrial Ventilation, and Environmental Health. We look at some of his recent research and the important takeaways that are essential for ensuring safe post-pandemic classrooms and workplaces. Dr. Pavilonis’ work in occupational health and exposure science has spanned the public, private and education sectors. His research focuses on quantifying human exposure and risk to environmental pollutants, especially for disadvantaged workers and communities. In this episode, we examine the current laws in place which mandate proper indoor ventilation in New York, and how enforcement is needed to truly protect workers.
