  • Drexel and Arizona State Researchers Look at Risk of Infection From Water in the Air at Home

    January 16, 2019

    Researchers from Arizona State University and Drexel University have developed a more detailed framework for understanding and managing the risk of transmitting a bacterial disease via water spray from sinks, showers and toilets. As continuous testing of indoor water is not always feasible, the guidelines can help to identify water use situations that could increase the risk of exposure.
