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

Given that breathing is one of the most fundamental physiological functions, there is an
urgent need to broaden our understanding of the fluid dynamics that governs it. There would …

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

The impact of air ventilation systems on airborne virus transmission (AVT), and aerosols in
general, in confined spaces is not yet understood. The recent pandemic has made it crucial …

The COVID-19 outbreak circulating the world is far from being controlled, and possible
contamination routes are still being studied. There are no confirmed cases yet, but little is …

Previous studies reported that the drying time of a respiratory droplet on an impermeable
surface along with a residual film left on it is correlated with the coronavirus survival time …

Coronavirus disease 2019 has become a global pandemic infectious respiratory disease
with high mortality and infectiousness. This paper investigates respiratory droplet …

After the Spanish flu pandemic, it was apparent that airborne transmission was crucial to
spreading virus contagion, and research responded by producing several fundamental …

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shifted attention to the airborne transmission of
exhaled droplet nuclei within indoor environments. The spread of aerosols through singing …

Understanding infection transmission between individuals, as well as evaluating the efficacy
of protective measures, are key issues in pandemics driven by human respiratory particles …
