▶️ Air filtration and disinfection can supplement but not replace good ventilation
4) ▶️ Simple indicators like CO2 monitoring are more practical than complex risk tools.
▶️ Continuous ventilation monitoring when occupied is crucial.
▶️ Comprehensive indoor air quality regulations, including standards and monitoring, are essential for public health.
