As a member of the RESCOP Commission, Prof. José L. Domingo has just recently published a new article about the role of outdoor and indoor air quality in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the scientific journal Environmental Research.
Because the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for maintaining particulate matter concentrations at low levels for multiple health-related reasons, the article emphasizes the importance of adopting preventive measures and applying air purification in indoor environments, such as schools, indoor public places (restaurants, offices, hotels, museums, theatres/cinemas etc.).
RESCOP is the first Thematic Commisson on COVID-19 & Outdoor/Indoor Air Quality (RESCOP Commission), promoted by the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine (SIMA) and formed by a large number of international researchers.
From the beginning of the pandemics, Prof. Domingo and other TecnATox researchers have been very active in understanding the links between indoor/outdoor exposure to air pollutants and SARS-CoV-2. This activity has led Prof. Domingo to be the URV (Universitat Rovira i Virgili) investigator with more scientific publications on SARS-CoV-2, according to Scopus database.
