Include more risk options for indoors

Open frustratedidiot125 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I'm not sure of the latest data currently available on the subject (I do a recall coming across a study or two) but, it would be nice to have more granular indoor options, such as indoor space: open door, indoor space: open Windows etc. Considerations based on room size as well.

There isn't always an appropriate choice in the calculator for the most common indoor conditions.

The paper we cited for risk reduction from a hepa filter tested opening windows in a classroom and reported negligible change in particles counted.

I've since seen statements to the contrary, but haven't found papers.

@frustratedidiot125, if you could find a paper (or better, 2-3 papers) that suggest that open windows have an effect on particle counts, I'd be happy to take a look (note that pop sci / news articles are not papers).
