Dependence of aerosol-borne influenza A virus infectivity on relative humidity and aerosol composition
Dependence of aerosol-borne influenza A virus infectivity on relative humidity and aerosol composition
We describe a novel biosafety aerosol chamber equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for bubble-bursting aerosol generation, size distribution measurement, and condensation-growth collection to minimize sampling artifacts when measuring virus infectivity in aerosol particles. Using this facility, we investigated the effect of relative humidity (RH) in very clean air without trace gases …
