Italian Study: Cronobrus particles detected in the air

This first test opens up the possibility of testing the virus's presence in the atmospheric particles of our cities in the coming months as an indication to discover early coronary resurface and adopt adequate preventive measures before the start of a new 148x1>, says Professor Alessandro Miani, president of Sima.

The first tests related to the presence of coronary in particles come from the analysis of 34 PM10 samples into the industry's environment air in the province of Bergamos, for a continuous period of 3 weeks, from February 21st to March 13th”, explains Leonardo Setti, the research group co-ordinator along with Gianlugi De Gennaro and Miani.

There have been traces of the coronary, but this does not necessarily mean that the virus is active and has enough viral loads to be contagious.

The samples were analyzed by the University of Trieste in collaboration with hospital labs Giuliano Isontina, which verified the presence of the virus. Positive results were confirmed in 12 different samples.

And we can confirm that we have reasonably demonstrated the presence of coronary in the atmosphere particle by detecting the presence of very specific genes, used as the virus's molecular marker, in two parallel genetic analysis”, correctly Setty.

A new way up?

The tests that the coronavrus may be present in air particles do not yet prove conclusively that there is a third way of infection”, continues De Gennaro.

However, in the so-called Stage 2, it is necessary to consider the need to keep low particles emissions in order not to risk favouring possible spread of the virus. It is possible that the matter of particles can facilitate the spread of the virus, it may be a transporter, but we do not know the viral burden and how effective it is to contribute to the” infection includes Fabrizio Pregliasco, virologist and health director of the Galezzi hospital in Milan.
