I'm not teaching environmental chemistry. The carbonate and phosphate systems are on the whiteboard because Alex and I were mulling over their buffering role in saliva droplets. 😀

We didn't see any evidence of increased particles, either due to low ozone and/or low terpenes and/or the Dylos particle counter's inability to detect particles in the relevant size range. @osluv.bsky.social

We're focusing on daycare centers, while one of the other teams will focus on schools.

Depends how you define "the next few years." 😉 We hope the innovations become widely available as soon as possible.

I'm laughing so hard that I'm snorting!

Others in past bees that bug me: CAVITATION, ZOONOTIC,...

Not in this project, but hopefully in another one.

I found the answer to my question: "Sentinel pigs became infected after 1 day of exposure to the infectious aerosols (results not shown)."

Right! I wonder if some of it is resuspended from skin or the ground. I also wonder if the methods used to date, aside from this study, may underestimate viral RNA in larger particles due to sampling artifacts such as inlet losses. My big question: did pigs in isolator 3 get infected?
