#AAAR2022 Say It Don't Spray It! Large Droplet Emissions from Speaking, Singing, and Playing Wind Instruments. KY TANNER, Kristen Good, Dan Goble, Nicholas Good, Amy Keisling, Christian L'Orange, Emily Morton, Rebecca Phillips, John Volckens, Colorado State University
Large salivary particle emissions! Yay. Yuck.
Focusing on these large particles.. part of a larger study that looked at the full size range of emissions. Depicted in grey. Everything in this talk is above 35 um.
Talking, singing, playing wind instruments, singing with a mask on, using a bell cover to mitigate these large particle emissions
This study had a total of 70 participants
52 data points for talking..

#AAAR2022 Improvement of Air Quality in Vehicles – Simulation of Two Different Use Cases of HEPA Filtration. Matisse Lesage, David Chalet, Jérôme Migaud, Christoph Krautner, SHIKHAR ARORA, Nilesh Tharval, Martin Lehmann, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH
Ultrafine particles matter a lot. In number. 90% of the number conc. 10% of the mass (they are not heavy). But they follow gas streamlines into your body - direct route to the deepest, dearest parts of your body. You don't want this. Lots of unknowns how terrible this..
UFPs can be solved w. improved filtration in the car cabin. Cabin air filters. We manufacturer filters. Bunch of fancy filters.
#AAAR2022 Aerosol Dispersion of Submicrometer Particles in an Aircraft Cabin. Stephanie Vannarath, Peter Kim, Mitchell Ford, Arvind Santhanakrishnan, Yu Feng, CHANGJIE CAI, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
Airplane cabins! Oh boy.. excited for this one.
infectious aerosols exist. Particularly interested in submicron ones - deep in our respir. tract. Travel further. Remain airborne longer. For the same mass, they have higher surface area.
Settling times of different particles 1 um. They can be suspended in the air for 9h.
#AAAR2022 Suppressing Spread of Viral Sneeze Droplets Using Transparent Curtains in Large Food Processing Facilities. SUNIL KUMAR, Maria King, David Klassen, Texas A&M University
Modeling rooms with and without partitions
Many studies show HVAC matters (a lot) in reducing spread of virus.
#AAAR2022 Spray Droplet Size in Liquid Sheets Containing Surfactants and Oil Emulsions. IAROSLAV MAKHNENKO, Long Nguyen, Cari Dutcher, Christopher J. Hogan, Elizabeth Alonzi, Christine Colby, Steven Fredericks, University of Minnesota
Agricultural spraying - spraying drift is a problem. 30% of all complaints come from this phenom. Droplets are traveling long distances airborne.
100-150 micron droplets.
Need to prevent spray drift: Trees around your field.
#AAAR2022 Cleaning the Indoor Air with Low-Cost DIY Air Cleaners. Nirmala Thomas Myers, Taewon Han, Kevin Dillon, GEDIMINAS MAINELIS, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
#AAAR2022 Characterizing and Comparing Respiratory Aerosol Emission for Pre-adolescent, Adolescent, and Adults during Sustained Phonation. MAHENDER SINGH RAWAT et al. Clarkson University
Respiratory aerosol emissions.. size distribution matters, virality matters.
Motivation - respiratory aerosols well reported for adults - but less for kids / young adults
