Aircraft cabins may have lowest levels of aerosol particles, study shows

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

If you're looking for an indoor space with a low level of particulate air pollution, a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude maybe your best option. That's the gist of a research study led by Nga Lee (Sally) Ng, associate professor and Tanner Faculty Fellow in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Although the study was conducted in July 2020, the monitoring could not identify the types of the particles found, and therefore does not provide a direct measure of coronavirus exposure risk.
