This method captures airflow data via a pneumotachograph and aerosol data via an electrical particle impactor. The data are collected underneath a laminar flow hood while participants breathe pure air ...

AIRBORNE. AIRFLOW. DROPLET. AEROSOL. Since the arrival of COVID-19, these words have become commonplace, integrated into everyday conversations as quickly as the virus spread globally. But what ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an online tool that could help decrease the concentration of aerosols containing the novel coronavirus in the ...

Ventilation exhaust diffusers located above a person coughing are better at dispersing potentially harmful pathogens than if ...

To characterize the aerosols generated during various intensities of exercise in the first study, Dr. Allison's team set up a special aerosol laboratory in a plastic tent with controlled airflow.

A restaurant outbreak in China was widely reported as strong evidence of airflow-induced transmission of COVID-19, but it lacked a detailed investigation about exactly how transmission occurred ...

In a new study, researchers have modeled how airflow within a car is affected by open windows, enabling them to estimate the best way to reduce the transmission of airborne pathogens such as SARS ...

But scientists who study aerosols, airflow and ventilation say that, much of the time, the barriers do not help and probably give people a false sense of security.
