Me too. It happens so regularly I've even given it a name; TCS...Tin Can Syndrome ✈How come after long haul flights (10+ hours) I always end up with coughs and sniffles......
Same here, even after shorter flights. I was advised by a student of mine - who’s a pharmacist - to use one of these nose sprays.... And it worked. Yeah!How come after long haul flights (10+ hours) I always end up with coughs and sniffles......
Yep; that's true.And it is a study that is paid for by Delta airlines...
And the measurements made on the plane were done by Delta staff.And it is a study that is paid for by Delta airlines...
The heading of the OP is inaccurate. It incorrectly conflates "lowest", a comparator with "low", a relative measure.According to a published report from Georgia Tech Research - Commercial aircraft cabins at altitude had the lowest levels of aerosol particulates in the air compared to restaurants, stores, homes, buses or private cars, Georgia Tech researchers found in a new study measuring both particle mass and number in commercial flights and other indoor spaces. "We wanted to highlight how important it is to have a high ventilation rate and clean air supply to lower the concentration of particles in indoor spaces," said Associate Professor Nga Lee (Sally) Ng. "The in-flight cabin had the lowest particle mass and particle number concentration." Throughout this global health crisis, US airlines have multiple layers of protection to prioritize the health and wellbeing of customers and employees, including industrial-grade HEPA filters.

What are your thoughts? Does this ease your anxiety of traveling?
I feel that risk assessment is a very difficult task. Both to understand in general and to apply it to me personally. In the end, most of my decisions will be "gut" decisions. The article didn't change much for me, l had been vaguely aware of these conditions. So much so that, initially, I only read the title and the summary and comments in this thread but not the whole articleWhat are your thoughts? Does this ease your anxiety of traveling?

I think it's both the airports AND the aircraft that are the problem. When, and if it is deemed safe to fly, I will be wearing a mask at all times, and therefore will not be eating or drinking on the plane, even internationally.It’s the airports that are the problem
