Mitigation of Respirable Aerosol Particles from Speech and Language Therapy Exercises

ABSTRACT: This data repository entry contains text files providing the data supporting the figures presented in: Mitigation of Respirable Aerosol Particles from Speech and Language Therapy Exercises Published in: Journal of Voice Abstract: Introduction: Phonation and speech are known sources of respirable aerosol in humans. Voice assessment and treatment manipulate all the subsystems of voice production, and previous work has demonstrated such activities can generate >10 times more aerosol than conversational speech and 30 times more aerosol than breathing. Aspects of voice therapy may therefore be considered aerosol generating procedures and pose a greater risk of potential airborne pathogen (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) transmission than typical speech. Effective mitigation measures may be required to ensu
