While the effects of an acoustic environment have previously been explored through subjective responses within ICUs, this study was the first to apply the soundscape approach. This approach aims to characterize the acoustic environment as it is perceived and understood, while understanding that the context, or the interrelationships between person, place, and activity, can influence perceptions.

Building and Environment
Journal Article
Author(s): Núñez, A., García, A. M.
The biological particles (or bioaerosols) found within indoor and outdoor atmospheres create the overall aerobiome of a given area. Little is known about the behavior of bioaerosols in healthcare facilities. Since the presence of certain bioaerosols can impact human health in numerous ways, it is important to understand the variables that influence their dynamics and diversity.
