Summary

The influence of building characteristics including ventilation on the spread of viral respiratory infections has begun to receive increased attention from the public, government, media and scientists. However, few studies have examined ventilation and its possible association with airborne infection transmission. This column summarizes the paper by Sun, et al., that found a lower incidence of common cold infections to be associated with higher ventilation rates in college student dormitories located at Tianjin, China.
