Video 2-5: Airborne Disease Transmission in a Well-Mixed Room—Drop-Size Distributions

Droplet size controls the transmission rate of COVID-19. Different respiratory activities produce different droplet-size distributions. Different size droplets have different infectivities, settle at different rates, and respond differently to filtration.

Speaker: Professor Martin Z. Bazant
