 The prevention and control of new respiratory infectious diseases has always been a new challenge. Through technical consultations, WHO has formed a consensus on airborne pathogens. It does not recommend that in all environments, for all known or suspected airborne pathogens, all individuals with any level of infection risk should take a complete set of measures to control airborne infectious respiratory particles, but no specific measures have been proposed in response. This is a challenge for the engineering community, and it requires greater attention to control measures for airborne diseases. It is necessary to implement the consensus into prevention and control measures in a practical way, achieving risk control and high efficiency with low consumption. This can not only be economically and effectively managed on a regular basis, but is also more applicable for the effective prevention and control of future new respiratory infectious disease outbreaks.
