- Outdoor air and ventilation reduce respiratory disease transmission risks.
- Louder speaking and heavier breathing increase transmission likelihood.
- Crowding significantly raises CO2 levels, making spaces less safe.
- Supermarkets can be unsafe, especially at peak times and checkouts.
- Doctors' offices often have poor ventilation and higher risks.
- Public transport safety varies with crowding; uncrowded is safer.
- Airplane safety differs by phase: taxiing is riskiest, mid-flight safest.
- On trains, dining cars are safer than crowded coach cars.
- Spacious rooms with high ceilings and low occupancy are safer indoors.
