Suppressing pathogen spread in the built environment
Improving biosafety in high-containment labs and clinics
Suppressing pathogen spread in vehicles
For spread in vehicles and the built environment, my sense (based on conversations with others, not independent research) is that lots of folks are excited about about upper-air UV-C systems to deactivate viruses. I don’t know the best reading on that so here’s a somewhat random March 2022 paper on the subject: Far-UVC (222 nm) efficiently inactivates an airborne pathogen in a room-sized chamber
(For all of these comments, take these resources as a lower-intensity recommendation than other things on this list, since these are selected based on the criteria of “things that seem relevant to this topic” rather than “things I found particularly interesting”.)
On passive technologies, I imagine the links from Biosecurity needs engineers and materials scientists would be informative. The areas highlighted there under “physical protection from pathogens” are:
Improving personal protective equipment (PPE)
Suppressing pathogen spread in the built environment
Improving biosafety in high-containment labs and clinics
