Experimental study on bioaerosols behavior and purification measures in a subway compartment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bioaerosols in public transportation systems raise critical environmental concerns, seriously threatening passenger health and safety. In this study, we investigate the spread characteristics of bioaerosols in a standard type-B subway compartment using both air sampling and sediment sampling methods. Additionally, without compromising indoor passenger comfort, two self-designed air purification devices, based on intense field dielectric (IFD) and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technologies, respectively, are successfully applied for the improvement of the subway air quality. The results show that bioaerosols can propagate rapidly throughout the entire compartment in 5 min via airborne transmission. Under the effect of the symmetric air ducts and compartment structure, the difference in bioaerosol concentration in the air is less than 10% between both ends of the compartment. Concurrent substantial bioaerosol deposition on the ground, seats, and windows underscores the risk of contact transmission. Furthermore, the real-time purification rates of the two devices integrated into the air conditioning system reach 59.40% and 44.98%, respectively. With their demonstrated high efficiency in purifying bioaerosols and modular design featuring low energy consumption, easy cleaning, and reusability, these devices stand out as viable long-term solutions for large traffic vehicles. These research findings provide practical equipment recommendations and installation strategies for optimizing indoor air quality in subways and are applicable to other similar transportation systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
