With hundreds of finger-licking preparations, India loves chicken in a way that may be indescribable to a non-resident. However, with the way things are progressing in the avian world, we could soon see a surge in disdain for the delectable meat, and in perhaps the same way the masses denounced bats during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a surprising and alarming twist, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07849-4">new research</a> has found that <keyword id="20633083" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="avian-influenza" source="keywords">avian influenza</keyword>, or <keyword id="20396857" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bird-flu" source="keywords">bird flu</keyword>, has jumped from birds to dairy cattle across many parts of the United States. Initially detected in wild birds, the <keyword id="21348322" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="H5N1" source="keywords">H5N1</keyword> had led to symptoms like reduced appetite, respiratory distress, and a significant drop in milk production. "This is one of the first times that we are seeing evidence of efficient and sustained mammalian-to-mammalian transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1," said Diego Diel, a virology expert who has written extensively about the topic. As per the new report, significant amounts of the virus has now been identified in the mammary glands of infected cows, meaning their milk itself has the ability to infect others. Researchers have even documented cases where cats and a raccoon became infected, likely from consuming the raw milk from infected cows. Although pasteurisation has shown the ability to kill the virus, the newfound ability to jump from cows to other mammals remains particularly troubling, especially considering how reliant we are on cow products such as beef and milk. <h2>Human cases and <keyword id="22448349" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pandemic-potential" source="keywords">pandemic potential</keyword></h2>If you’re feeling comfortable in the thought that the virus has some ways to go before humans need to be concerned, you might want to think again. So far, 11 human cases have already been reported in the US, primarily linked to cattle and <keyword id="20524711" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="poultry-farms" source="keywords">poultry farms</keyword>. While these cases have resulted in mild symptoms, experts worry that the virus could mutate, enhancing its transmissibility among humans. This possibility is a significant concern for scientists and health authorities. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="109054967" title="Scientists warn of bird flu pandemic that could be &amp;#39;100 times worse&amp;#39; than COVID after rare human case found in US" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Further, as viruses do, H5N1 is already evolving at a rapid pace. A <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.14.603367">separate study </a>led by researchers at UNC Charlotte found that the latest variants of H5N1 are getting better at evading antibodies, including those in humans. According to the researchers, these mutations could potentially lead the virus towards pandemic status if it continues to adapt and spread among mammals. <h2>Will developing nations be able to cope?</h2>Given these developments, continuous monitoring of the virus in both animals and humans is critical. The US Department of Agriculture has funded H5N1 testing programs to detect and manage outbreaks early. Enhanced biosecurity measures and quarantine protocols will undoubtedly be critical to prevent the virus from spreading to pandemic levels. However, this is a task much easier said than done for developing countries, who often lack the infrastructure and resources needed for such robust surveillance and response. Many of these countries have limited access to advanced diagnostic tools, vaccines, and antiviral treatments. This disparity leaves large portions of the global population vulnerable to the spread of H5N1. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="110941217" title="WHO confirms human case of bird flu in India! H9N2 virus detected in a four-year child in West Bengal" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>The World Health Organization has repeatedly stressed the need for global cooperation and support to strengthen health systems in underprepared regions. Without adequate resources, these countries may struggle to detect and contain the virus, potentially allowing it to spread unchecked. This not only endangers local populations but also increases the risk of a global pandemic. The implications of these studies are clear: the H5N1 virus is moving closer to pandemic potential. As it spreads among mammals, the risk of it adapting to humans increases. The world needs to prepare now to avoid being caught off guard, as was the case with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cows are now spreading bird flu to each other — here's why that's problematic for humans

<ul class="summary-list"><li>It can take a decade to build transmission lines, and construction fell to an all-time low in 2022.</li><li>The delays make the US's aging power grid more vulnerable to extreme weather and blackouts.</li></ul>America's power grid is old and stressed.Blackouts are on the rise <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blackouts-power-outages-more-common-climate-change-electric-grid-infrastructure-2023-3">as the climate crisis fuels more-powerful storms</a> and as electricity demand booms from electric vehicles, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/data-centers-electricity-consumers-discounts-utilities-2024-4">data centers</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-georgia-became-green-manufacturing-capital-2024-3">manufacturing</a>.The main problem: It takes way too long to build towering high-voltage power lines that carry electricity across state lines and to hook up new power to the grid. Long transmission lines can take more than a decade to build, and federal regulators have said their construction declined to an all-time low in 2022. Some 2.6 terawatts of new power — more than twice the size of the entire US grid — <a target="_blank" href="https://emp.lbl.gov/queues">are backed up in yearslong connection queues</a> in part because of a lack of capacity. The vast majority of that power comes from renewable-energy projects.The delays threaten the transition to cleaner energy and make residents more vulnerable to extreme weather. States also could miss out on new business opportunities if they don't solve the power crunch.To help break the logjams, the federal government in the last month has made sweeping changes to how grid upgrades are planned, paid for, and permitted. Energy regulators, developers, and lawyers say that while the changes won't immediately solve every bottleneck, they should make the US more prepared for skyrocketing energy demand and extreme weather."The grid as it exists now is essentially tapped out. There's no headroom left on the system," said Brett White, a vice president of regulatory affairs at Pine Gate Renewables, an energy developer with projects in 30 states. "But if I zoom out and take a long view, I'm optimistic about the future reliability of the grid."<h2 id="a9d87384-b76f-4e64-aa11-1d747749baf2">'Nobody wants to see it, and nobody wants to pay for it'</h2><a target="_blank" href="https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2022-04/Queued%20Up%E2%80%A6But%20in%20Need%20of%20Transmission.pdf">Federal data</a> indicates that while 2,000 miles of transmission lines were built on average each year from 2012 to 2016, that figure dropped to 700 miles from 2017 to 2021. Last year, just 251 miles were <a target="_blank" href="https://cms.ferc.gov/media/energy-infrastructure-update-december-2023">completed</a>.A <a target="_blank" href="https://repeatproject.org/docs/REPEAT_IRA_Transmission_2022-09-22.pdf">group of researchers led by Princeton University found in 2022</a> that to meet its goals for cleaner electricity, the US would need to more than double the previous decade's pace of transmission expansion. That's because many of the places with the most wind and solar potential are in parts of the country without the infrastructure to carry the electricity to homes and businesses.But upgrading the power grid gets bogged down by several issues.Many regional authorities that oversee the grid aren't doing much long-term planning to make sure there's enough transmission capacity. They tend to be reactionary, acting only when, for example, a solar developer wants to connect to the grid or a reliability issue pops up. Securing permits for transmission projects involves a patchwork of state and federal agencies, and locals often oppose energy infrastructure in their backyards. States with clashing priorities also fight over who pays for the costly power lines."This is a gross oversimplification, but to summarize the problem succinctly: Nobody wants to see it, and nobody wants to pay for it," said Larry Gasteiger, the executive director of Wires, a trade group that advocates for transmission development.A new rule issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this month is aimed at tackling some of the problems.The commission directed regional grid operators, states, and utilities to develop 20-year transmission plans to support rapidly growing electricity demand and provide a fair way to pay for it. The rule also makes it harder for states to opt out. The goal is to make the grid more reliable and keep costs down for customers in the long run.Allison Clements, a Democrat on the commission, noted that the agency recently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ferc-pjm-exelon-transmission-plan-talen-brandon-shores-psc/699410/">approved nearly $1 billion</a> in "last-minute" transmission spending to avoid reliability issues when a single coal plant in Maryland closes in 2025. She said the regional grid operator — an entity known as PJM Interconnection that spans 13 states from Pennsylvania to West Virginia — could have found a more cost-effective solution if it had planned for that retirement earlier.Jeffrey Shields, a spokesman for PJM, said in an email that the organization is studying the impact of the FERC rule. Before it was issued, PJM was working on "long-term scenario planning" and last year authorized a record $6.8 billion in transmission projects.Regarding the coal plant in Maryland, Shields pointed to a letter that PJM's CEO <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pjm.com/-/media/about-pjm/who-we-are/public-disclosures/20231205-pjm-board-response-to-sierra-club-letter-regarding-pjm-interconnections-role-in-the-maryland-energy-transition.ashx">Manu Asthana's letter to Sierra Club</a> in December. Asthana said it wasn't "reasonable to expect PJM to have anticipated the imminent" closure because the owner of the coal plant, Talen Energy, had said it would stay online with oil as a fuel source. It wasn't until April 2023 that PJM was notified about the closure.The region illustrates why states can clash over who pays. Maryland and New Jersey are aiming for 100% renewable energy by 2035, but Pennsylvania and West Virginia are doubling down on gas and coal.States and utilities reliant on fossil fuels don't want to pay for transmission projects that unlock cleaner power to compete with, and they worry their residents will unfairly get stuck with a multibillion-dollar tab. Mark Christie, a Republican commissioner, endorsed that view, arguing that the agency's rules "fails to protect consumers" and would transfer wealth to "for-profit special interests" like wind and solar developers.Proponents of the commission's rule said that view was short-sighted. A well-planned grid has benefits beyond ushering in more renewable energy. Numerous power-hungry data centers and factories are coming online, and the climate crisis is fueling more frequent and destructive storms. If the US doesn't invest in regional transmission lines, customers will pay the price in the form of congestion and more life-threatening outages."Grids are being pushed to the brink," Neil Chatterjee, a former chairman of the FERC, said. "Climate change doesn't care about state politics and market design."Chatterjee added that it could take years for the rule to have an effect and that the commission would likely face legal challenges. But he expects it to be upheld because it falls under FERC's traditional authority to keep the grid reliable in an affordable way.<h2 id="0c1ac372-28e0-4f03-891e-725151c00a77">No silver bullet</h2>While that process plays out, the federal government is also trying to more quickly grant environmental permits for transmission lines.The Department of Energy this month said it would take the lead on applications and aim to issue decisions within two years — about twice as fast as its current average. By DOE being the main point of contact, project developers won't have to navigate different processes with eight different federal agencies in some cases. The department <a target="_blank" href="https://www.energy.gov/gdo/national-interest-electric-transmission-corridor-designation-process">also identified 10 regions of the country</a> where some 3,500 miles of transmission lines should be prioritized because customers are facing higher utility bills and power disruptions from extreme weather.If that list is finalized, FERC would also be able to step in and approve permits for projects stalled or denied at the state level in those priority regions.Christine Powell, a deputy managing attorney of Earthjustice's Clean Energy Program, said that collectively these actions would help expand transmission on a "pretty large scale."But federal regulators still have few tools to resolve local environmental and property-rights disputes in vast swaths of the country — another major obstacle to the switch to cleaner energy.In a 2023 <a target="_blank" href="https://epic.uchicago.edu/news/new-poll-2-in-5-would-consider-purchasing-an-electric-vehicle-as-their-next-car-but-they-remain-prohibitively-expensive-for-americans/">survey by the University of Chicago</a>, 56% of Americans said they supported building transmission lines to carry renewable power where it's needed, but that dropped to 48% when they were told the project would be built in their neighborhood.Congress and federal regulators also haven't addressed transmission projects designed to connect the country's fragmented regional grids — such as carrying Wyoming's wind power into California, where rolling blackouts are on the rise.Congress is working on broader reforms, but Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, recently <a target="_blank" href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4660811-schumer-permitting-reform-deal-would-be-virtually-impossible/?email=467cb6399cb7df64551775e431052b43a775c749&amp;emaila=12a6d4d069cd56cfddaa391c24eb7042&amp;emailb=054528e7403871c79f668e49dd3c44b1ec00c7f611bf9388f76bb2324d6ca5f3&amp;utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=05.13.24--Overnight%20Energy%20%26%20Environment%20CMS%20BH">suggested lawmakers wouldn't reach a deal anytime soon</a>."The path forward is going to be one of incremental improvements to processes rather than one silver-bullet fix," Gasteiger said. "There are further problems that need to be dealt with."

<keyword id="2687606" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Adani-Transmission" source="Orion">Adani Transmission</keyword> expects strong growth opportunities through its acquisitions and improvement in the last mile connectivity. Adani Transmission is the transmission and distribution arm of the Adani Group. "Acquisition has been our very formidable growth paradigm in the transmission side and, we of course acquired the distribution business in Mumbai... (and)... the distribution business in Mundra. So, we will continue to look at various holdings of the private sector in the distribution as possible growth opportunities," Anil Sardana, the Chief Executive Officer of the company said. "We all know that in the power sector, as a country, we are doing well with the generation side... the transmission side. What we have to actually reform is the last mile. And that's where the company's presence is going to really help multiply and grow in the days ahead." The company, which generates more than two-third of its revenue from the distribution business, recognizes distribution as one of its key and core strengths. In the ninth-month ending 2021, the company quadrupled its transmission network to 3,080 circuit kilometres from 749 circuit kilometres in the same period last year. It commissioned 890 circuit kilometres at Ghatampur Transmission in Uttar Pradesh, 481 circuit kilometres at Bikaner Khetri Transmission and 292 circuit kilometres at Fatehgarh- Bhadla Transmission in Rajasthan. Apart from the key transmission assets, the company will build, own, operate and maintain the transmission project in the state of Madhya Pradesh for a period of 35 years, the company said in a statement. "One of ATL's key strengths lies in providing seamless electricity to some of the most populous regions of the nation, traversing through complex geographies. Across its network, ATL has ensured a robust transmission system availability at 99.62 per cent." Though the transmission and distribution business has a strong potential, the biggest roadblock in India's mission to provide 'Power for All' is the transmission and distribution losses. To put things in perspective, India's energy losses in transformation, transmission and distribution during the year 2019-20 was at 20.46 per cent, it said.

Through the campaign, the brand wants to reiterate IntrCity SmartBus as a customer-centric brand. It is also trying to acquire new customers in Delhi and Bangalore through its communication. It also has plans of spending aggressively on marketing this year, to reach out to customers to further communicate the core offerings of the brand. Serving close to 1.5 lakh passengers every month, the brand currently operates in 16 states, covering over 630 routes across J&amp;K (Kashmir) to Kanyakumari (Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu). IntrCity SmartBus covers over 200 destinations across 228 cities. We spoke to Swapnil Tripathi, Chief Business Officer, IntrCity SmartBus to understand the brand’s journey so far and why it was a good time to release its first campaign, the kind of growth bus travel is witnessing currently and how they are making the entire experience safer for its consumers. Excerpts: Q) You have launched your first-ever campaign. Why was this a good time? After the dampening years due to the deadly second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and the Omicron era with extended lockdowns, inter-city mobility has gained momentum once again. The summer vacations will begin shortly and inter-city travel will get very intense especially with no travel restrictions after 2 years. Seeing the high demand for intercity bus travel and factors like traveller’s confidence has returned to the pre-pandemic levels for both leisure and non-leisure travel, we felt it is a great time for introducing our campaign #It’s not a bus, it is a SmartBus to highlight the comfort provided by IntrCity SmartBus for bus travellers. Q) Considering this is your first campaign, how have you been engaging with your consumers so far? Our core philosophy is experience-led where the focus is to ensure that every traveller ends up making us their default choice after their first trip with us. Hence the strategy is to acquire new customers from our relevant TG i.e. millennial professionals, college students, SMEs &amp; traders and travelling sales professionals. Needless to say that we have also created products like SmartBus Savings Card, Refer n Earn and loyalty program to ensure that every repeat travel is financially rewarding too. We engage with travellers at our lounges and inside the bus through our staff, where the captain ensures that they not only have great experience but understand how they can travel again with us. We have brand tie-ups which ensures that our travellers get overwhelmed with goodies as well as snacks which they can buy during the journey. IntrCity app helps one manage the entire journey experience smoothly accessing various tools like Track Your Bus, Find Boarding point, Talk to Captain, and Pre-order meal at pit-stop. Q) What kind of increase in demand has the company witnessed from the start of this year? Do you anticipate this number to only go up this year? We have registered a month-on-month growth at a consistent 40% plus growth over the last six months, as of February 2021 with milder slowdown during parts of January and February returning back and growing again from March onwards. In the last 2-3 years, the technology-backed aggregators have led to the creation of branded fleets on prominent 50+ routes across India. The introduction of mobility technology in inter-city buses along with the emergence of organised and branded players has transformed this entire ecosystem. We believe that our growth numbers will remain at this level and further improve paving the way to have 2000 buses by 2025. Q) Going ahead, what are a few key focus areas for this year? The key focus right now is going deeper into the heartland of India with expanding our services further into Tier I &amp; II cities in India. We are executing a mix of deeper penetration in routes that we are already active in along with adding new routes from existing hub cities. We’re aiming to have 2000 buses by 2025. Q) What are your broader marketing plans for the rest of the year? We focus a lot on repeat travel and hence have a lot of engagement activities and communication targeted at ensuring that our loyal travellers remain in touch between their two trips with us. Our in-bus goodies bag, surprise gifts and the captains ensure that customers should interact with the brand IntrCity and finish their trip with a very strong recall about us. The IntrCity app keeps them informed about new feature launches, new routes added, special offers and ensures that they travel again with IntrCity SmartBus. Q) Considering people are still cautious about travelling, how are you ensuring the safety of customers? Customer’s safety is our utmost priority. Using data analytics to offer detailed information like live bus status, estimated time of arrival at destination &amp; more, the SmartBus has been built as a centralised system, backed by AI-powered predictive algorithms, that connect long distance buses. This provides a standardised travel experience for our bus fleet. Our SmartBuses are designed to create, maintain &amp; grow our three core promises: safety, reliability and punctuality. Establishing safety parameters for our passengers is a core focus at IntrCity SmartBus. In line with this priority, we have built a central command centre to monitor and manage each bus journey, especially the long distance ones. Our command centre is connected with the driver’s interface in the bus, the crew app, the bus booking app for consumers, and all boarding lounges and boarding points. Our SmartBuses are also equipped with cameras and sensors that help keep track of the passenger count at all times. Every enroute bus is assigned with a Bus Captain who offers you in-person assistance throughout the journey. In case of an emergency, the captains directly contact the command centre for quick resolution ensuring that you enjoy an uninterrupted safe and comfortable travel experience. As a result of these safety measures, the percentage of female travellers who did online bus ticket booking with IntrCity SmartBus rose from 9% in 2019 to 25% in 2021. Every bus is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised before starting its journey, and the ‘cleaning’ status is uploaded on the bus ticket booking app for you to check. Our in-bus staff members wear protective gear throughout the journey and are thermally scanned before resuming their duties. Travellers are similarly checked and are provided with a hygiene kit with a sanitizer and disinfectant wet wipes. We have established IntrCity SmartBus Lounges, an industry-first effort, to provide consumers with a safe and convenient boarding experience. Q) How is IntrCity engaging with consumers from smaller cities? Are you also looking at regional campaigns? Our approach towards the customers from tier-II and III is multi-media campaign, vernacular content and communicating on how our brand is helping them for their very functional needs. We cater to functional needs of the travel and our primary routes are such where people travel for job, going to college campuses, visiting families &amp; relatives with very few leisure routes too. Hence we aim to convey how our buses remain punctual, are safe, are cleaned &amp; sanitized for contamination free travel. We follow a vernacular approach and have seen better engagement with local language content than English. Our selection of media and demography of users is purely based on locations we exist in and cater to.

As inter-city road travel gathers momentum, IntrCity launches its first-ever campaign to woo new consumers

That's how Theresa Pistochini, an engineer specializing in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, likes to visualize it. To get glitter out of a pool, a system should have three main components: it must move water around (circulation), remove glitter from the circulating water (filtration), and bring in new water to dilute the glitter (ventilation). The same goes for air in buildings. After people expel coronavirus particles via breathing, talking, or coughing, those particles can remain temporarily suspended in the air. But unlike glitter, coronavirus particles are invisible, and humans can only tell if air is getting circulated (since that means a space doesn't feel stuffy), not whether it's properly filtered or ventilated. "You walk into a building that's too cold or too hot, and you know immediately," Pistochini, who works at the Energy Efficiency Institute at the University of California, Davis, told Business Insider. "But people in a building have absolutely no perception if the system is filtering or ventilating."To ensure people can safely spend time in offices, stores, restaurants, and schools, experts say, building managers must update airflow systems. That's because most cases of documented coronavirus transmission have occurred in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-risk-higher-tight-indoor-spaces-with-little-air-flow-2020-5">tight, poorly ventilated indoor spaces</a>; one <a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.28.20029272v2">recent study</a> (though not yet peer-reviewed) even suggested that a person might be nearly 20 times more likely to spread the coronavirus inside as they are outside. "The biggest risk is these closed, indoor environments," Don Milton, a virologist at the University of Maryland, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-airborne-coronavirus-controversy-indoor-crowds-poor-ventilation-2020-7">previously told</a> Business Insider.Unfortunately, research suggests many buildings aren't meeting even basic standards for air circulation and ventilation. A <a href="https://edlabor.house.gov/media/press-releases/gao-report-more-than-half-of-school-districts-need-significant-building-repairs-ventilation-systems-are-major-concern">June report</a> by the Government Accountability Office estimated that at least 36,000 schools nationwide had dysfunctional HVAC systems. A <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12273-018-0458-4">2018 review</a> also found that the majority of US buildings "have multiple faults residing in the systems causing either energy, thermal-comfort, or indoor air-quality penalties."Pistochini offered several tips on how to spot faulty HVAC systems.<h2>Older grocery stores are probably safer than newer office buildings </h2>First, identify the building's purpose, since that can inform whether ventilation and filtration are high priorities. In hospitals, for example, the design must ensure sick patients don't contaminate each other; airflow in grocery stores helps keep produce fresh. Offices and school buildings, on the other hand, may not invest in high-quality ventilation or filtration. <div type="image" title="woman grocery store apples" height="919" width="1620" msid="77505984" hostid="261"></div>Next, consider the building's age."Everyone has a preconceived notion they should be more worried if they're in an older building," Pistochini said. "Being in an older building is actually safer than a newer one. If you're in a new building with broken ventilation, you're in real trouble." That's because most buildings over 50 years old tend to leak air, and consequently require greater amounts of energy for heating and cooling. Designers started sealing them up more thoroughly in the 1970s to reduce energy use. It worked, but airtight spaces mean decreased ventilation when a system isn't up to par. LEED- and WELL-certified buildings are notable exceptions to the old-versus-new building rule, however, since structures with these certifications must have high quality HVAC systems, Pistochini said. <div type="image" title="LEED Certification" height="2533" width="3800" msid="77505991" hostid="261"></div><h2>Test a building's CO2 levels</h2>Although there's no simple, easy, or cheap test to measure coronavirus particles in the air, high levels of <keyword id="48468" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Carbon-dioxide">carbon dioxide</keyword> can be a "canary in the coal mine," according to Roger Silveira, director of facilities maintenance and operations at San Jose's East Side Union High District. Silveira's work focuses on improving school air quality.CO2 builds up when a lot of people exhale in a closed space, so a high concentration of it indicates that a building isn't well ventilated. In a buildings with good ventilation, CO2 levels generally stay under 1,100 parts per million, Silveira said.If you have <a href="https://www.amazon.com/CO2Meter-AZ-0004-Temperature-Relative-Humidity/dp/B001PDGFR8">about $100 </a>to spend, you can buy a carbon-dioxide monitor online at <a href="https://www.co2meter.com/">CO2meter.com</a>, or on Amazon or other sites. Silveira, who worked with Pistochini to develop a <a href="http://www.cashnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/0616020-CASH-CMN-Healthy-Schools-Resource-1.pdf">healthy air plan</a> for schools during the pandemic, plans to install a meter in every classroom in his district.<h2>If all else fails, ask the manager — and open windows</h2>If you have to spend a lot of time in a particular building, like an office or a school, it's probably worth asking the building manager or maintenance director about its HVAC system. Some good questions to start with: Has this building been updated to comply with <a href="https://www.ashrae.org/technical-resources/resources">COVID-19 standards</a> set by top HVAC experts? If not: Has this building's ventilation system been tested recently, and what's <a href="https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/how-much-ventilation-do-i-need-my-home-improve-indoor-air-quality">the airflow rate?</a> Different buildings require different airflows, but most should have <a href="https://www.contractingbusiness.com/archive/article/20860783/how-much-fresh-air-is-enough#:~:text=Building%20use%20and%20required%20fresh,Light%20commercial%20buildings%2015%2D25">at least 15</a> cubic feet per person per minute.You could also find out which types of filters the building uses — Pistochini recommends HEPA or MERV-13 or -14 filters, since these can block most coronavirus particles if used properly and replaced regularly. If you can't ask a manager and also can't opt out of being inside a particular building, experts suggest simply trying to stay near open windows. That's no substitute for a state-of-the-art HVAC system, but Pistochini says open windows are still better than no ventilation at all.

Air circulation can fight coronavirus transmission — or help it spread. Here's how to spot a faulty system.
