The SAFEAIRSPACES COVID-19 Aerosol Relative Risk Estimator

This risk estimation platform is an ongoing piece of collective scholarship between Dr. Richard Corsi, Dean of the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, Dr. Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, Professor and director at the University of Oregon College of Design, Institute for Health in the Built Environment, and the Biology and the Built Environment Center, and Doctoral Candidate Hooman Parhizkar also at University of Oregon College of Design, IHBE and BioBE. 

We acknowledge Dr. Charles Haas at Drexel University for his integral research on dose-response modelling and for his review.

The algorithm used in the Safeairspaces Aerosol Relative Risk Estimator platform has been peer-reviewed and published in the international journal of Risk Analysis. It is accessible here.

                  I ACKNOWLEDGE:

• THIS RISK ESTIMATOR WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE RELATIVE GUIDANCE AND NOT ABSOLUTE CALCULATIONS OF RISK OR SAFETY WITH REGARD TO THE POTENTIAL SPREAD OF COVID-19 THROUGH EXPOSURE TO the SARS-CoV-2 VIRUS INDOORS 
• THIS TOOL ONLY PROVIDES ESTIMATES OF RELATIVE AEROSOL RISK, AND NOT RISKS OF INFECTION BY LARGE DROPLETS, FOMITES, OR DIRECT CONTACT.
• THIS RISK ESTIMATOR DOES NOT PRODUCE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS AND I WILL NOT CONSTRUE THE RESULTS AS SUCH
