Aerosol optical absorption coefficients at seven wavelengths in 10 min resolution measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Lubna Dada

This dataset contains aerosol optical absorption coefficients at seven different wavelengths (babs(λ)), averaged to 10 min time resolution, measured during the year-long MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. The measurements were performed ...

Sources and seasonality of fluorescent aerosols in the Arctic

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Alireza Moallemi

Aerosol‐cloud interactions play an important role in the Arctic climate but remain poorly understood. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) contribute to the formation of ice crystals at temperatures above ‐38 °C in mixed phase clouds, which are predominant in t ...

On the durability of surgical masks after simulated handling and wear

Jian Wang, Véronique Michaud, Vincent Marc Varanges, Baris Çaglar, Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin, René M. Rossi

After the spread of COVID-19, surgical masks became highly recommended to the public. They tend to be handled and used multiple times, which may impact their performance. To evaluate this risk, surgical masks of Type IIR were submitted to four simulated tr ...

Equivalent black carbon concentration in 10 minutes time resolution, measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Lubna Dada

This dataset contains equivalent black carbon (eBC) concentrations, averaged to 10 min time resolution, measured during the year-long MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. The measurements were performed in the Swiss container on the D-dec ...

Expiratory Aerosol pH: The Overlooked Driver of Airborne Virus Inactivation

Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Walter Hugentobler

Respiratory viruses, including influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, are transmitted by the airborne route. Air filtration and ventilation mechanically reduce the concentration of airborne viruses and are necessary tools for disease mitigation. However, they ign ...

Polyamide Nanofiber-Based Air Filters for Transparent Face Masks

Thierry Pelet, René M. Rossi

Transparent face masks are the ultimate solution for improving communication during pandemic times while at the same time slowing the spread of pathogens. Here, we demonstrate an easily scalable process consisting of directly electrospinning polyamide nano ...

Effect of specific non-pharmaceutical intervention policies on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the counties of the United States

Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre

Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) remain the only widely available tool for controlling the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We estimated weekly values of the effective basic reproductive number (R-eff) using a mechanistic metapopulation model and associ ...

Modified full-face snorkel masks as reusable personal protective equipment for hospital personnel

Patrick Gerber, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Nitin Arora

Here we adapt and evaluate a full-face snorkel mask for use as personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers, who lack appropriate alternatives during the COVID-19 crisis in the spring of 2020. The design (referred to as Pneumask) consists of ...
