BACKGROUND Exposure to droplets produced in the coughs and sneezes of infected
individuals or contact with droplet-contaminated surfaces (fomites) have been widely …

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has been associated with infections and deaths among
health-care workers. This Viewpoint of infectious aerosols is intended to inform appropriate …

Although airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) has been recognized, the condition of ventilation for its occurrence is still being …

We provide research findings on the physics of aerosol and droplet dispersion relevant to
the hypothesized aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during the current pandemic. We …

The slogan “Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases” was coined in the United States during
the last great flu pandemic between 1918 and 1920 to highlight the role of coughs and …

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted public health and the worldwide economy.
Converging evidence from the current pandemic, previous outbreaks and controlled …

Healthcare workers are at risk of infection during the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus‐2 pandemic. International guidance suggests direct droplet transmission is …

The present study investigates aerosol transport and surface deposition in a realistic
classroom environment using computational fluid-particle dynamics simulations. Effects of …

Mechanistic hypotheses about airborne infectious disease transmission have traditionally
emphasized the role of coughing and sneezing, which are dramatic expiratory events that …

Aerosols represent a potential transmission route of COVID-19. This study examined effect
of simulated sunlight, relative humidity, and suspension matrix on stability of SARS-CoV-2 in …
