Indoor Air Quality: Advances in the Science and Applications for Correctional Settings
Dr. Tripoli will discuss recent advances in the study of transmission of airborne pathogens, drawing upon his experience in correctional health care and as the Command Surgeon for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command over the Pacific Theater. This presentation describes how scientific thinking changed during the coronavirus pandemic and shares lessons that were learned from the challenge of the pandemic as it unfolded in the intensely congregate military and correctional settings. It will also recommend methods to mitigate airborne disease transmission for congregate settings.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
* Review the history of scientific thinking on droplet transmission of pathogens through air
* Describe potential methods of determining air quality and infection risk
* Identify countermeasures for preventing airborne transmission of pathogens
