Humidity Reduces Rapid and Distant Airborne Dispersal of Viable Viral Particles in Classroom Settings

2021-06-22

Abstract excerpt

The transmission of airborne pathogens via aerosols is considered to be the main route through which a number of known and emerging respiratory diseases infect their hosts. It is therefore essential to quantify airborne transmission in closed spaces and determine the recommendations that should be implemented to minimize exposure to pathogens in built environments. We have developed a method to detect viable virus...
