Natural Ventilation for the Prevention of Airborne Contagion [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2007 Institutional transmission of airborne infections such as tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem, especially in resource-limited settings where protective measures such as negative-pressure isolation rooms are difficult to implement. Natural ventilation may offer a low-cost alternative.
