Abstract
The continuous growth of global travel facilitates the
quick and sometimes uncontrollable spread of naturally,
or intentionally released, person-to-person transmissible
pathogens around the world. Airports contribute to the
potential
spread of disease owing to the high number of passengers
from across the world coming together in enclosed spaces,
with high contact rates and several hand touch surfaces.
Principal Scientist at the VTT Technical Research Centre
of
Finland, Ilpo Kulmala, provides an overview of the
EU-funded PANDHUB project, which aims to minimise the
transmission of infectious diseases in transport hubs.
