2 Introduction and motivation Communicable respiratory illnesses have significant economic impacts in the U.S. 43 common colds and 26 cases of influenza per 100 persons Healthcare costs, absence from work, lost worker productivity Total cost was ~$70 billion in 2000 Fisk 2000 Ann Review Energy Environ 25: Airborne transmission of respiratory pathogens is complex Continuing debate about transmission modes Control of airborne infectious disease transmission Studies suggest building characteristics, outdoor air ventilation rates, and lower occupant density can reduce respiratory illnesses 15-76% Langmuir et al Am J Hyg; Brundage et al JAMA; Drink a et al Am Geriatr Soc; Fisk 2000; Li et al Indoor Air Others: UVGI, facemasks, isolation HVAC filtration? 2
3 Objectives 1. Explore modes of disease transmission 2. Infectious aerosols: Particle sizes and emissions Including influenza viruses within size-fractioned indoor aerosols 3. Methods of estimating disease risks Linking HVAC filtration to a particular method: Wells-Riley model 4. Case studies Influenza risks in a hypothetical office environment Various levels of filtration (MERV) 5. Cost effectiveness of filtration vs. outdoor air ventilation 3
4 1. MODES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE TRANSMISSION 4
5 Primary modes of disease transmission Direct contact with pathogen sources 2. Contact with contaminated object surfaces ( fomite ) 3. Inhalation of airborne infectious aerosols (often longer distances) Lakdawala and Subbarao 2012 Nature Medicine 18:
6 Spreading : Expulsion of droplets When a person coughs, sneezes, speaks or breaths: Particles of liquid water, proteins, salts, and other matter are expelled These are called droplets These particles may contain smaller infectious organisms Droplets rapidly deposit to surfaces and/or decrease in size as the surrounding liquid evaporates Droplet nuclei remain after evaporation Typically 40-50% smaller diameter (d p ) than original droplets Still contain infectious organisms Verreault et al Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews 72: ; Nicas et al J Occup Environ Hyg 2: ; Chen and Zhao 2010 Indoor Air 20:95-111; Yang and Marr 2011 PLoS ONE 6:e

9 2. INFECTIOUS AEROSOLS Size distributions and infectious organism content 9
10 What particle sizes are actually emitted by humans? When considering particle filtration of infectious aerosols It is crucial to consider particle sizes of infectious aerosols Particle removal efficiency 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% HEPA MERV 16 MERV 14 MERV 12 MERV 10 MERV 8 MERV Particle diameter (!m) Commonly believed that droplet nuclei average 1-3 µm Recent studies show that 80-90% of particles expelled during human activities are actually smaller than 1-2 µm Papineni and Rosenthal 1997 J Aerosol Medicine 10: ; Yang et al., 2007 J Aerosol Med 20: ; Lindsley et al., 2012 J Occup Environ Hygiene 9: ; Fabian et al., 2008 PLoS ONE 3:e
11 Particle size is important for distribution and removal Large droplets Small particle (droplet nuclei) 11
12 What about infectious organisms within particles? Most particles emitted during human activities are smaller than 1-2 µm But particle volume scales with d p 3 Does the amount of viral or bacterial material contained in droplet nuclei scale similarly? Several recent studies have measured influenza virus content in size-fractioned indoor aerosols 12
13 Viral RNA contained in size-resolved aerosol samples qpcr reveals influenza viral RNA size distribution in human coughs: 42% < 1 µm 23% 1-4 µm 35% > 4 µm Although ~90% of emitted particles (number concentrations) are < 1 µm Only ~40% of viral RNA is contained in that fraction Lindsley et al., 2010 PLoS ONE 5:e
14 Size-resolved influenza virus indoors: Summary Recent measurements of influenza viruses in size-fractioned indoor aerosols: Healthcare centers, ER, cough airstreams, daycare, airplanes, manikins Adjusted to fit into Standard 52.2 size bins Average influenza size distribution: 20% <1 µm 29% 1-3 µm 51% >3 µm [16] Lindsley et al., 2010 Clin Infect Dis 50: ; [17] Blachere et al., 2009 Clin Infect Dis 48(4): [18] Lindsley et al., 2010 PLoS ONE 5:e15100; [19] Yang et al., 2011 J R Soc Interface 8: ; [20] Noti et al Clin Infect Dis 54(11):
15 3. ESTIMATING RISKS And linking to HVAC filtration 15
16 Methods of estimating infectious disease risks P infection = Wells-Riley model cases susceptiles =1 e Iqpt Q oa P infection = the probability of infection cases = the number of infection cases susceptibles = number of susceptible individuals I = number of infector individuals p = pulmonary ventilation rate of a person (m 3 /hour) q = quanta generation rate (1/hr) t = exposure time (hr) Q oa = room ventilation rate with clean air (m 3 /hour) Markov chain models Dose-response models 16
17 The unit quantum of infection is not an actual physical unit It is a hypothetical infectious dose Back calculated from epidemiological studies Accounts for emissions, transport, inhalation, infectivity, and susceptibility all in one term Quanta generation rate, q (# per hour) Concept of quanta generation Rhinovirus Riley et al., 1978 Am J Epidemiology 107: (and many others for quanta estimates) TB Influenza Measles 17
18 Incorporating other loss terms into Wells-Riley model " P infection =1 exp Iqpt # $ V % ( λ ventilation + k filtration + k ) deposition & ' Loss by HVAC filtration (1/hr) Loss by particle deposition (1/hr) Q k filtration = f filter η filter HVAC V = λ recirculated η filter f HVAC = fractional HVAC operation time (-) Q filter = airflow rate through filter (m 3 /hr) η filter = particle removal efficiency of the filter (-) λ recirculated = recirculation rate through the HVAC filter (1/hr) To connect Wells-Riley with filtration, we need to know several specific building characteristics as well as: Size-resolved quanta generation rates Removal efficiency of HVAC filters for infectious aerosols 18
19 MERV and infectious aerosols Using previous data on influenza virus in size-resolved particle samples taken in real indoor environments, we assume the following infectious particle size distribution: 20% exist in the µm range 29% exist in the 1-3 µm range 51% exist in the 3-10 µm range Provides a reasonable estimate Can also explore sensitivity MERV table from ASHRAE 52.2 Composite particle removal efficiency (%) MERV µm 1-3 µm 3-10 µm 1 <20 2 <20 3 <20 4 < < < Assume: ~20% ~29% ~51% 19
20 MERV and infectious aerosols: Removal efficiency Assuming that infectious size distribution, we can estimate the size-weighted average removal efficiency of a range of filters for infectious aerosols: 20
21 4. CASE STUDIES Estimating risks with various level of MERV filtration 21
22 Case study: Influenza in an office environment Because the Wells-Riley model utilizes building volume, we must rely on case studies to explore possible impacts of filtration Cannot generalize entirely because filtration effectiveness is a function of not only removal efficiency but recirculation rates through HVAC filters (flow vs. volume) We chose a hypothetical office environments with 1 infector: 500 m 2 25 adult occupants ASHRAE 62.1 minimum ventilation rates 25% OA 8 hours of occupancy Used mean quanta generation rate from previous studies Influenza (q = 100/hr) Azimi and Stephens 2013 Building and Environment 70:
23 Estimated risk of infection with HVAC filtration: Office From no filter to MERV 13 or greater: From 4 out of 24 occupants infected w/ flu to 2 out of 24 Azimi and Stephens 2013 Building and Environment 70:
24 Generalizing results Using relative risks across all estimates of influenza aerosol size distributions and all HVAC filters allows us to identify trends and generalize results Azimi and Stephens 2013 Building and Environment 70:
25 5. COST COMPARISONS Filtration vs. outdoor air 25
26 Estimating outdoor air costs Making assumptions about operational periods in each building type, costs of natural gas and electricity, and HVAC equipment efficiency we estimate the cost of conditioning each unit of outdoor air ventilation rate delivered in each of four cities: Chicago, Charlotte, Houston, and Phoenix E heating = λ ventilation Vρ air C p,air HDD 1 η heating α E cooling = λ ventilation Vρ air C p,air CDD 1 η cooling β We can also estimate the cost of filtration by combining filter costs, fan energy costs, and replacement costs (labor) W filtration = Q recirculated ΔP avg η fan η motor C filtration = W filtration t operating P electric Procedure similar to Bekö et al Building and Environment Azimi and Stephens 2013 Building and Environment 70:
27 Relative risk vs. estimated annual cost: Filtration vs. OA MERV predicted to offer greatest risk reduction at lowest cost Azimi and Stephens 2013 Building and Environment 70:
28 6. LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE WORK 28
29 Important limitations and future research needs Need to identify the relative importance of large droplet vs. small droplet nuclei transmission for overall transmission of a range of infectious diseases Need to compare Wells-Riley model to other modeling methods (e.g., Markov chain and dose-response methods) PhD student Parham Azimi currently working on this Need validation with real data Observational studies of offices with various HVAC filters More measurements of infectious aerosol size distributions Will be working with a Sloan Foundation post-doctoral fellow Stephanie Kunkel next year to experimentally validate this model 29
