This Article introduces a practical legal strategy for immediately implementing new scientific discoveries concerning disease transmission to improve indoor air quality and reduce infectious disease spread.

In so doing, it assembles a toolkit of legal instruments to alleviate the burden of infectious diseases for all Americans in their daily lives — whether they are working, traveling, shopping, worshiping, attending school, or seeking health care.
