COVID-19 Warning: Humid Air Can Extend Lifetime of Virus-Laden Aerosol Droplets – SciTechDaily
Scientists report a detailed model of aerosol transport through air, considering several environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and ambient flow. The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread through natural respiratory acti…
Color map showing the amount of time a free-falling 100-micron droplet at an initial height of 1.6 meters is affected by temperature and humidity. For relative humidities (RH) and temperatures (T) below the yellow arc, the droplet will fall to the ground in the number of seconds indicated by the color scale; above the arc, the droplet will completely evaporate in air, never reaching the ground.
