The ILAQH has been conducting extensive studies related to infection spread over many years, including responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
More recently, the ILAQH is in the process of setting up two mask testing facilities. One to be established in the ILAQH laboratory at QUT, and will investigate non-viable aerosols. The second, to be established at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, to investigate viable aerosols.
