One important factor in the spread of airborne infection must be the movement of the air itself i.e. the ventilation, although an exact correlation of it with the risk of infection has yet to be found. As part of an infection survey in a hospital ward we made a detailed study by physical methods of the movements of the air and of the transport of particles by this means. A description is given of the methods employed.
