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

Human respiratory virus infections lead to a spectrum of respiratory symptoms and disease
severity, contributing to substantial morbidity, mortality and economic losses worldwide, as …

During the rapid rise in COVID-19 illnesses and deaths globally, and notwithstanding
recommended precautions, questions are voiced about routes of transmission for this …

Although the relative importance of airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is
controversial, increasing evidence suggests that understanding airflows is important for …

Flow physics plays a key role in nearly every facet of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes
the generation and aerosolization of virus-laden respiratory droplets from a host, its airborne …

Sars-Cov-2 virus (COVID-19) is a member of the coronavirus family and is responsible for
the pandemic recently declared by the World Health Organization. A positive correlation has …

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 …

Emerging evidence supports a link between environmental factors—including air pollution
and chemical exposures, climate, and the built environment—and severe acute respiratory …

The use of face masks in public settings has been widely recommended by public health
officials during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The masks help mitigate the risk of cross …
