Reducing the risk of droplet inhalation for taxi drivers by regulating the air supply position according to the exhalation source

D Mei, J Li, Y Li, L Liu, X Zhang - Atmospheric Pollution Research, 2024 - Elsevier
The environment inside taxis is relatively closed, making it easy for the drivers to contact with
droplets exhaled by the passengers and creating a high risk of respiratory diseases. To …

Evaporation of concentrated polymer solutions is insensitive to relative humidity

M Huisman, P Digard, WCK Poon, S Titmuss - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
A recent theory suggests that the evaporation kinetics of macromolecular solutions is
insensitive to the ambient relative humidity (RH) due to the formation of a “polarization layer” …

Evaluation of the Inactivating Ability of Carbon-Nanotube Coated Plasma Treatment on Bioaerosols for Indoor Air Cleaning

CY Chuang, YF Hsu, PC Hung, YT Dai, S Yang - Coatings, 2022 - mdpi.com
