Knowing the physicochemical properties of exhaled droplets and aerosol particles is a
prerequisite for a detailed mechanistic understanding and effective prevention of the …

In recent years, pandemic outbreaks have raised concerns about the spread of respiratory
infections and their impact on public health. Since the pathogen emission during human …

CO 2-based infection risk monitoring is highly recommended during the current COVID-19
pandemic. However, the CO 2 monitoring thresholds proposed in the literature are mainly for …

Respiratory particles produced during vocalized and nonvocalized activities such as
breathing, speaking, and singing serve as a major route for respiratory pathogen …

Humans emit large salivary particles when talking, singing, and playing musical instruments,
which have implications for respiratory disease transmission. Yet little work has been done …

Background Aerosol spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-
CoV-2) is a major problem in hospitals, leading to an increase in supplementary high …

Rapid testing is essential to fighting pandemics such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19), the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS …

Introduction Voice assessment and treatment involve the manipulation of all the subsystems
of voice production, and may lead to production of respirable aerosol particles that pose a …

We described an insect-inspired strategy for conferring reversible, high responsivity on
polymer microgels to dilute-source CO2 (≤ 5000 ppm in gas mixtures). This is demonstrated …

Using aerosol-based tracers to estimate risk of infectious aerosol transmission aids in the
design of buildings with adequate protection against aerosol transmissible pathogens, such …
