Distinguised Professor Jose-Luis Jiminez
Jose-Luis Jiminez is a Distinguished Professor and aerosol chemist. Among the results of his work The World Health Organisation acknowledged that the Sars-Cov-2 virus is airborne. His work has not only inspired future researchers but significantly impacted the field of atmospheric aerosols and saved lives.
Distinguished Professor Jose-Luis Jiminez is one of 40 leading scientists from around the world who have joined forces to recommend setting levels for three key indoor pollutants: carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and PM2.5 – particles so small they can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream; as well as standards for ventilation rate – the number of times per hour that the entire air volume of an area is changed.
They have set out the standards framework in an article published in the prestigious journal Science featured in this short clip.
