Size-resolved inhalation intake fractions for particles released from human activities in residential indoor environments

Inhalation exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne particulate matter is a public health concern. Assessment of exposure can be enhanced through better knowledge of source-receptor relationships, which can be characterized through the inhalation in ...

Salt-mediated inactivation of influenza A virus in 1- μl droplets exhibits exponential dependence on NaCl molality

Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Walter Hugentobler, Céline Terrettaz, Laura Costa, Laura José Costa Henriques

Influenza A virus (IAV) spreads through airborne particles ranging from sub-micrometer to millimeter-sized droplets. The stability of airborne IAV remains difficult to estimate and depends, among others, on the respiratory matrix composition and the size-d ...

Measurement report: High Arctic aerosol hygroscopicity at sub- and supersaturated conditions during spring and summer

Jakob Boyd Pernov

Aerosol hygroscopic growth and cloud droplet formation influence the radiation transfer budget of the atmosphere and thereby the climate. In the Arctic, these aerosol properties may have a more pronounced effect on the climate compared to the midlatitudes. ...

CFD Simulation of Particle-Laden Flow in a 3D Differentially Heated Cavity Using Coarse Large Eddy Simulation

Konstantin Mikityuk, Abdelouahab Dehbi

Particulate flow in closed space is involved in many engineering applications. In this paper, the prediction of particle removal is investigated in a thermally driven 3D cavity at turbulent Rayleigh number Ra = 1E9 using Coarse Large Eddy Simulation (CLES) ...

Integrated Aerodynamic/Electrochemical Microsystem for Collection and Detection of Nanogram-level Airborne Bioaccessible Metals

Jian Wang, Christian Ludwig, Tianyu Cen, Jiukai Tang

The soluble fraction of aerosol particulate matter containing trace metals has the potential to engender toxicity and exacerbate the adverse health effects of particulate matter. In this study, an inertial-impaction-based fluidic chip integrated with elect ...
