- Violent expiratory events: on coughing and sneezing (2014, background): “…studies have been aimed at measuring the size distribution of droplets emitted by various respiratory functions, such as coughing and sneezing (e.g. Wells 1934, 1955; Duguid 1945; Loudon & Roberts 1967; Papineni & Rosenthal 1997; Yang et al. 2007; Morawska et al. 2009b; Johnson et al. 2011).”
- Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses (2021, background): “Sites of aerosol formation Respiratory aerosols can be classified into alveolar, bronchiolar, bronchial, laryngeal, and oral aerosols, according to the sites where they are produced (3, 84, 85).”
- The coronavirus pandemic and aerosols: Does COVID-19 transmit via expiratory particles? (2020, background): “During speech, these particles likely derive in part from a “fluid film burst” mechanism in the alveoli in the lungs as well as via vibration of the vocal cords (Johnson et al. 2011), so the breath and speech derived particles may contain virions if mucus in the respiratory tracts contains them.”
- Aerosol filtration efficiency of household materials for homemade face masks: Influence of material properties, particle size, particle electrical charge, face velocity, and leaks (2020, background): “Breathing generates the smallest particles (typically dp < 4 mm) with a mode diameter around 0.8 mm, caused by fluid film burst during airway reopening (Bake et al. 2019; Johnson et al. 2011), with particle concentrations increasing with exhalation depth (Bake et al. 2019).”
- Estimation of airborne viral emission: Quanta emission rate of SARS-CoV-2 for infection risk assessment (2020, positive): “The front of the mouth is the site of narrowing and the most important site for atomization; since most droplets originate at the front of the mouth and to a lesser extent from the larynx (Johnson et al., 2011), the concentration of an infectious agent in the mouth (sputum) is representative of the ”
