Adlakha, D. (author), HIggs, Carl (author), Sallis, James F. (author)In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, dubious assertions that population density increased spread of the virus led to premature and dangerous recommendations promoting suburban sprawl. In 2020, we published a commentary in Cities & Health to refute these recommendations. We hypothesized that features of activity-supportive...journal article 2023

Yap, M.D. (author), Wong, Howard (author), Cats, O. (author)It is important to understand how public transport passengers value on-board crowding since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main contribution of this study is to derive the crowding valuation of public transport passengers in a post-pandemic era entirely based on observed, actual passenger route choices. We derive passengers’...journal article 2023

(author), Jimenez, J.L. (author)Some infectious diseases, including COVID-19, can undergo airborne transmission. This may happen at close proximity, but as time indoors increases, infections can occur in shared room air despite distancing. We propose two indicators of infection risk for this situation, that is, relative risk parameter (Hr) and risk parameter (H). They combine...journal article 2022

(author)Background: The initial aim was to study the effects of face masks worn by recently infected individuals on the airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2, but findings motivated us to proceed with comparing the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in air samples near infected individuals at home with those near infected intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Aim: To...journal article 2022
