The Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾H Safe Air Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾

Shortly after the start of the pandemic, researchers from WEISS and Mechanical Engineering joined forces to start the Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ COvid aNd FacE maSkS (CONFESS) study, which aimed to establish whether wearing facemasks would help prevent droplet spread during singing, chanting and humming. This has now developed into the Safe Air study which is investigating how we can make rooms (such as hospital consulting rooms) safer for patients and healthcare staff.

These webpages will give you up to date information on recent study progress, including any associated publications.
