Preventing Airborne Disease Transmission: Review of Methods for Ventilation Design in Health Care Facilities

Table 6

Summary of advantages and disadvantages of different viability models.

Viability model	Advantages	Disadvantages
Exponential	Simple, easy to fit, reasonable agreement with experiments	Underestimation of viability at long durations
Higher order kinetic	Physically plausible, good agreement with experiments	Difficult to fit
Catastrophe	Physically plausible, good agreement with experiments	Difficult to fit, too many model varieties
