TL;DR
The ability to maintain a large air mass under constant conditions makes it possible to study the effects of different atmospheric states on air-suspended bacteria and viruses in relation to their survival, particle size, humidification, killing by lethal vapors, and host susceptibility.
Abstract
This communication describes the construction and operation of two identical experimental rooms in which it is possible to produce and maintain a wide range of temperature and humidity with or without exchange of the room air. The ability to maintain a large air mass under constant conditions makes it possible to study the effects of different atmospheric states on air-suspended bacteria and viruses in relation to their survival, particle size, humidification, killing by lethal vapors, and host susceptibility. A brief description of the functioning of the rooms under experimental conditions is given.
