The transmission of microbes between humans can occur by direct (person-to-person), indirect (e.g. through contaminated surfaces) and airborne routes. Respirable aerosol droplets (<10 μm diameter, ...

Research from the University of Birmingham has revealed that cooking oil emissions don't quickly disappear but reorganize ...

Respiratory particles emitted during human exhalatory events span a wide size range, from large macroscopic droplets to small aerosol particles. Although these droplets (>100 μm diameter) and aerosols ...

Virus-carrying aerosol droplets exhaled by infected people were already a well-established potential route of respiratory infection spread, and over the course of the pandemic, aerosols were ...

New insights into the behaviour of aerosols from cooking emissions and sea spray reveal that particles may take up more water than previously thought, potentially changing how long the particles ...

"That would potentially contain droplets of all sizes, particularly these aerosol-sized droplets which can then propagate into the room." Dhanak said valved masks are not intended for medical use ...

That lid, which is absent from the vast majority of toilets in public restrooms, is key, he said, to containing what scientists call a “poo plume,” the droplets and aerosol particles that can ...

The Riken research institute’s Fugaku supercomputer, the world’s fastest, is back in the global spotlight with a special award for its simulations of how aerosol droplets disperse and ...

For pioneering contributions to aerosol physical chemistry, including the surface composition of microscopic droplets, new particle formation in the atmosphere, and the physicochemical properties of ...
