Studying the evaporation and dispersion of droplets when exhaled at different rates and in different RHs. The “critical size” of droplet (dictating whether it falls and settles, or whether it evaporates) decreases as the evaporation rate decreases (e.g. higher RH). For coughing respiratory rates (10 m s-1), all droplet sizes studied deposited or evaporated within 2 m.
