Figure 10

Time course plots of plane flight temperature and relative humidity. 10A and 10B show temperature and RH from the time of leaving the gate until the aircraft begins its descent to land. 10C and 10D show temperature and RH from the time of starting to descend for landing until passengers leave the plane (where zero is the start of descent toward landing). Influenza transmission risk evaluation is not attempted due to lack of transmission data in literature for most of the humidity levels, HEPA filtration and other factors. Graphs are provided for informational interest. (See Discussion, Aircraft data interpretation.) Aircraft N = 15.
