“Dr. Anan” reveals the results of research showing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Resulting in Covid virus Stay in the air longer Explain the reason for higher infection in crowded places.
Dr. Anan Jongkaewwattana, director of the Animal Health Innovation and Management Research Group The National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech) posted on his Facebook page, Anan Jongkaewwattana, stating that

The research was recently published in the journal Nature Communications. A research team from Bistrol University said that the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air may help some viruses, particularly the COVID virus SARS-CoV-2, to remain contagious in the air for a longer period .
Under normal conditions, viruses distributed in the air occur in droplets of various sizes, ranging from small to very small. The environment in aerosols is slightly basic or alkaline. Viruses naturally don’t like this type of environment. Viruses don’t last long before becoming inactive. Poor cellular connection

This research indicates that the amount of CO2 in the air plays an important role in modifying the basic environment. CO2 increases the acidity of aerosols in the air. This will allow the virus to stay in the air longer.
The amount of CO2 increases in the air in case of poor ventilation and in conditions of crowding of people. Because we breathe a lot of CO2 which accumulates. This could explain why Covid is easily contracted in such conditions.

The research team also looked at the bigger picture. In the future, if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increases due to environmental change factors. This could lead to a greater ability of the virus to spread through the air as well.
Information from this research will help increase efficiency in controlling the spread of viruses in the air, for example by increasing outdoor air ventilation instead. But it’s not just about internal circulation, for example.
