Indoor air quality (IAQ) at educational institutions has emerged as an important public health issue, affecting the and cognitive performance of school-aged children, students, faculty alike. This scoping review study seeks to investigate synthesize current literature on factors influencing state research IAQ in its implications for health. The methodology this is with guidelines preferred reporting items extension reviews. technique thoroughly investigated peer-reviewed journals, international organizations, government reports, case studies contexts. Using keywords such IAQ; institutions; health; Europe, “adverse outcomes,” study’s inclusion exclusion criteria, well criteria use assessments. results show that poor linked various problems, including respiratory issues impairments, especially among vulnerable groups like children teachers. Inadequate ventilation, volatile organic compounds, mold growth, external contaminants are all common causes IAQ. Monitoring management measures required improve Educational Institutions, encouraging students’ academic performance. Policy also interdisciplinary approaches addressing concern.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 represents a serious health issue worldwide, with more than 61 million cases and 1.4 deaths since the beginning of epidemic near end 2019. scientific community strongly responded to this emergency situation massive research efforts, mostly focused on diagnosis clinical investigation therapeutic solutions. In scenario, drug repurposing played crucial role in accelerating advanced testing shortening time access regulatory review.Areas covered: This review covers main most successful approaches from design, clinical, standpoint. Available patents repurposed drugs are also discussed.Expert opinion: Drug proved highly response current pandemic, remdesivir becoming first specific antiviral approved for treatment COVID-19. parallel, number such as corticosteroids low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients, while additional options is ongoing. It reasonably expected that these efforts will deliver optimized tools increase preparedness systems possible future epidemics.

As the world continues to grapple with reality of coronavirus disease, global research communities are racing develop practical solutions adjust new challenges. One such challenge is control indoor air quality in COVID-19 era and beyond. Since became a pandemic, "super spread" virus has continued amaze policymakers despite measures put place by public health officials sensitize general on need for social distancing, personal hygiene, etc. In this work, we have reviewed literature demonstrate, investigating historical present circumstances, that spread infectious diseases may be assisted conditions HVAC systems. While little consideration been given possibility airborne transmission virus, available reports demonstrated average aerodynamic diameter up 80-120 nm, viable as aerosol atmosphere more than 3 h, its Having vulnerability conventional ventilation systems, recommend innovative circulation concept supported use UVGI combination nanoporous filter combat SARS-CoV-2 other harmful microbes enclosed spaces.
