A study conducted by investigators from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium explored the use of central ventilation systems for air sampling to detect respiratory pathogens, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research found that sampling air within a ventilation system could be as effective as traditional room-based sampling for detecting pathogens, potentially increasing the scalability of infectious disease surveillance. The study was funded by the European Union, KU Leuven funds, UZ Leuven, and FWO, and the results were published in the journal Indoor Air. [Extracted from the article] |
