A member asked:
I read many times about toxic bacteria or virus that they inactivated in simple exposure to open air in specific time i want to ask there is always air in rooms and bathroom so they inactivated in that air also or outdoor air is needed?

Many infectious organisms exist on surfaces of objects & food, or they can be transmitted through space via droplets produced when we cough or sneeze. So simple air exposure does not inactivate all of these organisms.
