Predictive and retrospective modelling of airborne infection risk using monitored carbon dioxide [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The risk of long range, herein `airborne', infection needs to be better understood and is especially urgent during the current COVID-19 pandemic. We present a method to determine the relative risk of airborne transmission that can be readily deployed with either modelled or monitored CO$_2$ data and occupancy levels within an indoor space.
