Mark Hernandez, S. J. Archuleta Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and senior author of recent research published in PNAS-Nexus, found that airborne particles carrying a mammalian coronavirus closely related to the virus which causes COVID-19 remain infectious for twice as long in drier air.

Professor Mark Hernandez, S. J. Archuleta Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, also directs ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ's Environmental Engineering Microbiology and Disinfection Lab, an experimental space used to study infectious airborne particles and realistically mimics indoor environments. In a recent study published in PNAS-Nexus, the team studied murine hepatitis virus (MHV), a coronavirus that cannot infect humans but is closely related to SARS-CoV-2.
