Infectious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Exhaled Aerosols and Efficacy of Masks During Early Mild Infection

Oluwasanmi O. Adenaiye et al.

Summary: Exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosols are infectious and the virus is evolving to generate more efficient aerosols. Loose-fitting masks can moderately reduce viral aerosol release, but to protect vulnerable individuals in public-facing jobs and indoor spaces, ventilation, filtration, UV air sanitation, and tight-fitting masks are needed.

Comparing aerosol number and mass exhalation rates from children and adults during breathing, speaking and singing

Justice Archer et al.

Summary: This study provides a robust assessment of the absolute particle number and mass exhalation rates from measurements of minute ventilation. The results indicate that children and adults generate similar amounts of aerosol when performing the same activity, and aerosol exhalation rate increases with increasing sound volume.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by inhalation of respiratory aerosol in the Skagit Valley Chorale superspreading event

Shelly L. Miller et al.

Summary: This study discusses a case transmission event in the Skagit Valley Chorale during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, identifying aerosol transmission as a likely main pathway and proposing ways to reduce infection risk by adjusting factors such as ventilation rate and event duration.

Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Children and Adolescents Compared With Adults A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Russell M. Viner et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that children and adolescents have a 44% lower odds of secondary infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to adults, with insufficient data to determine if children transmit the virus less than adults. Preliminary evidence suggests that children have a lower susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with adults, but their role in virus transmission remains unclear.

Analytical challenges when sampling and characterising exhaled aerosol

Florence K. A. Gregson et al.

Summary: Sampling respiratory aerosols presents challenges due to the polydisperse nature of particles, low emission concentrations, and dynamic jet emissions. Commercial instruments capable of counting single particles <20 μm are available, but careful consideration of flow rates, sampling durations, and background concentrations is necessary to accurately quantify aerosol plume size distributions.

Comparing aerosol concentrations and particle size distributions generated by singing, speaking and breathing

Florence K. A. Gregson et al.

Summary: This study measured aerosols from singing, speaking, and breathing in a cohort of 25 professional singers, finding that singing produces aerosols at a factor of 1.5 to 3.4 more than speaking. Guidelines for musical performances should focus on factors such as loudness, duration, number of participants, and environment, rather than vocalization type.

Exhaled aerosol increases with COVID-19 infection, age, and obesity

David A. Edwards et al.

Summary: This study observed and experimented on 194 healthy human subjects and 8 nonhuman primates, finding that COVID-19 infection and elevated BMI-years lead to an increase in exhaled respiratory droplets. Furthermore, 18% of human subjects accounted for 80% of the exhaled bioaerosol generated, resembling a 20:80 superspreader distribution of infection.

Aerosol and droplet generation from performing with woodwind and brass instruments

Lauren P. McCarthy et al.

Summary: The study found that playing woodwind and brass instruments generates aerosols at levels consistent with breathing, lower than speaking or singing at high volumes. The research also suggests that there is no significant difference in aerosol concentrations generated by professional and amateur performers, indicating similar risks for both groups during musical activities.

A Paradigm Shift to Align Transmission Routes With Mechanisms

Linsey C. Marr et al.

Summary: Current infection-control guidelines are outdated and need to be modified to more accurately describe different transmission routes in order to improve control measures for emerging more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Aerosol emission in professional singing of classical music

Dirk Muerbe et al.

Summary: This study measured aerosol emission rates from professional singers during singing compared to breathing and speaking under cleanroom conditions. Singing showed significantly higher emission rates, attributed to higher sound pressure levels, with enhancements between 4.0 and 99.5. Furthermore, vocal loudness had significant effects on emission rates, while no significant differences were found between voice classifications. The study supports the need for improved risk management in cases of potential aerogenic virus transmission, particularly in choir singing settings.
