    AbstractDue to the airborne transmission of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) via aerosols or microdroplets, this study investigated the effect of a mobile air filter system in a surgical examination room. The use of the air filter system led to a significant reduction of aerosols in the room. Therefore the use of a high efficiency air filtration device, in examination rooms with poor ventilation, e.g. lack of windows or local exhaust, is mandatory.
