Airborne Influenza A Virus Exposure in an Elementary School 2020-02-05 .txt text/plain 4118 212 46 In this study, we evaluated the use of a bioaerosol sampling method to noninvasively detect and quantify airborne influenza A virus (IAV) densities in a public elementary school. Significantly different (p = 0.049) airborne IAV densities were detected between all three indoor locations (i.e., gymnasium, classroom, and corridor) and all positive samples were collected during the last two weeks of 66 , and a 20-30% relative humidity level; Descriptive of an average elementary school student in the USA weighing ~23-32 kg with an assumed tidal volume (V T ) of 7 mL per kg of body mass. Given the high airborne IAV densities detected in the school corridor, along with elevated student contact rates, it is plausible to conclude that the school corridor is a "hotspot" for influenza virus transmission. ./cache/cord-004280-c470nlie.txt ./txt/cord-004280-c470nlie.txt
