When the dirty cubicle door remains fully open, temperature difference and concentration gradient across the doorway induce the two-way buoyancy-driven flow and transport of airborne agents across the doorway. The longer the dirty cubicle door remains fully open (10 s, 30 s or 60 s) or the smaller the air change rate (34–8.5 ACH for each cubicle), the more airborne pathogens are being transported into the 'clean' cubicle and the longer time it takes to remove them after the door is closed. Small-scale experiments and theoretical models [7, 8] confirmed that the opening and closing motion of hinged doors can induce transient airflows and turbulence close to the doorway, followed by air exchange and the transport of airborne particles into the anteroom through the doorway. ./cache/cord-303055-rttaoiwt.txt ./txt/cord-303055-rttaoiwt.txt
