ABSTRACT
Airborne exposure has been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic as a probable infection route. This experimental study investigates different protection methods at an office workstation, where the concentration characteristics are studied under the mixing ventilation conditions. The protection methods were the room air purifier, personal air purifier, face mask, and workstation partition panels. In experiments, the breathing machine, nebulizer, and syringe pump was used to generate an aerosol distribution of paraffin oil into the room. The breathing thermal manikin and the thermal dummy simulated the exposed and infected person, respectively. The concentration characteristics were measured from the manikin breathing zone. The temporal concentration characteristics were measured from zero concentration to steady-state conditions. The study provides insights into the effects of different protection methods for occupational health and safety decision-making for office indoor environments. © 2022 17th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, INDOOR AIR 2022.
