Risk of infection from water in the air at home
A more detailed framework for assessing and managing the risks of bacterial disease transmission through water spray from sinks, showers and toilets has been developed by researchers, including Kerry Hamilton, a Fulton Schools assistant professor of civil, environmental and sustainable engineering. Hamilton and a colleague at Drexel University show reasons for communities to maintain thorough monitoring and testing operations to reveal signs of water-quality degradation and prevent the spread of serious infections and diseases.
