What is CAiMIRA?


-CAiMIRA stands for CERN Airborne Model for Indoor Risk Assessment and was initially developed as CARA - COVID Airborne Risk Assessment - in the spring of 2020 to better understand and quantify the risk of long-range airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in workplaces. +CAiMIRA stands for CERN Airborne Model for Indoor Risk Assessment, previously known as CARA - COVID Airborne Risk Assessment, developed in the spring of 2020 to better understand and quantify the risk of long-range airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in workplaces. Since then, the model has evolved and now is capable of simulating the short-range component. CAiMIRA comes with different applications that allow more or less flexibility in the input parameters: The mathematical and physical model simulate the airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in a finite volume, assuming a homogenous mixture and a two-stage exhaled jet model, and estimates the risk of COVID-19 airborne transmission therein. The results DO NOT include other known modes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Hence, the output from this model is only valid when the other recommended public health & safety instructions are observed, such as good hand hygiene and other barrier measures.

The methodology, mathematical equations and parameters of the model are published here in the CARA paper: Modelling airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using CAiMIRA: risk assessment for enclosed spaces.

The methodology, mathematical equations and parameters of the model are published here in a peer-reviewed paper: Modelling airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using CARA: risk assessment for enclosed spaces.

The short-range component of the model was adapted from Jia et al. (2022) Exposure and respiratory infection risk via the short-range airborne route .

The model used is based on scientific publications relating to airborne transmission of infectious diseases, virology, epidemiology and aerosol science. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different airborne-related risk mitigation measures. diff --git a/cara/apps/templates/common_text.md.j2 b/cara/apps/templates/common_text.md.j2 index 2dcce555..b35e0858 100644 --- a/cara/apps/templates/common_text.md.j2 +++ b/cara/apps/templates/common_text.md.j2 @@ -60,4 +60,4 @@ We wish to thank CERN’s HSE Unit, Beams Department, Experimental Physics Depar ## References -Reference list can be found in the CARA paper: CERN-OPEN-2021-004 +Relevant literature references can be found in the paper: Modelling airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using CARA: risk assessment for enclosed spaces.
