Airborne transmission was an emblematic point of tension during the COVID pandemic. From its identification to its prevention, it represents both a scientific and a health issue. In this lecture, we will draw on recent reviews and key works in the literature, while situating older sources in the evolution of points of view on the subject, in an attempt to summarise the main historical, biophysical and epidemiological elements relating to airborne transmission, with an emphasis on the contributions of modelling to the study of this subject, now a public health priority.
Noted of, the scientific seminar will be followed by an institutional presentation of the ExposUM Institute.
