Real-time measurement of droplet size and its distribution of an air-induced air-assisted electrostatic nozzle

Manoj Kumar Patel et al.

Summary: This paper presents a critical assessment of droplet size and its distribution, focusing on the variations caused by different parameters such as high voltage, air pressure, liquid flow rate, nozzle position, and orientation. The results show that the electrostatic nozzle has the smallest average droplet size compared to the other nozzle types. Statistical analysis also reveals the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the droplet size for the electrostatic nozzle.

Visualization of the infection risk assessment of SARS-CoV-2 through aerosol and surface transmission in a negative-pressure ward

Weiqi Guo et al.

Summary: Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has posed a great challenge to global public health. Nosocomial infections have been common in medical institutions worldwide. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an effective surveillance and early warning system to prevent nosocomial infections in negative-pressure wards. This study conducted a risk assessment of SARS-CoV-2 infection through aerosol and surface transmission in a negative-pressure ward, providing insights into its distribution regularity, critical factors of infection, and factors affecting infection risk. The results can serve as a theoretical reference and technical support for reducing the occurrence of nosocomial infections.

Risk assessment of airborne transmission of COVID-19 by asymptomatic individuals under different practical settings

Siyao Shao et al.

Summary: The lack of quantitative risk assessment of airborne transmission of COVID-19 under practical settings leads to uncertainties and inconsistencies in preventive measures. Ventilation design is critical for reducing the risk of particle encounters, inappropriate design can create hot spots with higher risks and enhance particle deposition causing surface contamination. Faceted particles from normal breathing are correlated with breathing depth.

Evaluation of electrostatic sprayers and foggers for the application of disinfectants in the era of SARS-CoV-2

Joseph P. Wood et al.

Summary: Research has shown that disinfection is recommended to limit the spread of the COVID-19 disease caused by airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Evaluation of spray parameters for various types of sprayers and foggers revealed that most devices produce spray droplets of suitable size and effectively cover objects.
