A Multi-Layered Air Defense Model to Protect Shared Air in Critical Infrastructure Sectors
Abstract
We recommend that America adopt a multilayered air protection and mitigation strategy to provide safe fresh indoor air across the 16 designated critical infrastructures. Coupled with traditional public health guidance including testing, contact tracing, social distancing, and isolation of people with known disease or exposure, we further recommend a focus on engineering solutions and administrative controls. These controls, applied in a multilayered and redundant model, at-scale, could provide the public confidence to allow America to fully reopen the economy and sustain our critical infrastructures. Together with personal protective equipment for our most vulnerable populations, we can sustain our country economically while protecting public health and those most vulnerable to this or future diseases.
