Name: Video 1-4: Transfer of Respiratory Pathogens—Equilibrium Size of Respiratory Aerosols
Uploaded: 2021-04-08T14:31:15Z
Duration: 15 min 32 s
Description: Equilibrium droplet size varies with relative humidity. Infectious respiratory droplets contain proteins, sugars, salts, and virions. Mucus has a greater volume fraction of solutes than saliva. Droplets are hygroscopic and grow at high relative humidities. Speaker: Professor Martin Z. Bazant
