The kick-off meeting was held at the Warsaw University of Technology on 29-30 January.Through intensive discussions and brainstorming, we carefully defined the roadmap for the coming months, both in terms of attracting excellent candidates and a research programme full of challenges and new ideas.We are excited about the opportunity to …

DC1: Characterization of source intensity and emission behaviour of airborne infectious pathogens from hospital staff

Objectives: Previous studies show some evidence that the personnel are the major source of microorganisms (colony forming units, CFU). However, absolute numbers and exact knowledge about the human emission of CFU is missing. This project aims at gaining more knowledge on the emission from the personnel (in particular the surgical …

DC2: Characterizing distribution of airborne microbial pollutants due to human activities inhospital environments

Objectives: The primary objective is create novel knowledge and experimental data to model the generation and short range distribution of airborne microbial pollutant from human activities and integrate it into numerical models for performing human exposure risk assessment. Expected Results: A comprehensive experimental protocol for characterizing the generation and short …

DC3: Analysis of thermal micro-environment generated by the surgical team members in operating rooms with both laminar airflow and mixing ventilation

Objectives: The primary objective is to develop new knowledge about the flow patterns and thermal parameters in vicinity of surgeons, medical staff and patients depending on their activity and body positions, clothing and surgical procedure. Expected Results: Detailed characteristics of the micro-environment generated by the surgeons and medical staff for …
