Mechanistic theory predicts the effects of temperature and humidity on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses
Ambient temperature and humidity strongly affect inactivation rates of enveloped viruses, but
a mechanistic, quantitative theory of these effects has been elusive. We measure the stability …

Humidity-dependent decay of viruses, but not bacteria, in aerosols and droplets follows disinfection kinetics
The transmission of some infectious diseases requires that pathogens can survive (ie,
remain infectious) in the environment, outside the host. Relative humidity (RH) is known to …
