If you are testing N95 masks with evaporated salt particles and measuring that with a very-fine sensor, what instrument or test measures actual viruses? Do hard salt particles and aerosolized viruses behave the same?
Remember when you were a kid, you would look out the window on those lazy days and see dust particles floating between you and the sunlight?
Our human vision is limited to around 40 microns, or the width of a human hair, so those dust particles were around that size and bigger.
The dust floated because air currents (flow) provided buoyancy/drag versus gravity trying to pull the dust down to the ground.
A brilliant physicist by the name of Stoke’s quantified this effect in a mathematical law named after him to explain the behavior of extremely small particles in a fluid or gas (air).
