Emission Rates, Size Distributions, and Generation Mechanism of Oral Respiratory Droplets

ABSTRACT: This data repository entry contains text files providing the data supporting the figures presented in: Emission Rates, Size Distributions, and Generation Mechanism of Oral Respiratory Droplets Published in: Aerosol Science & Technology Abstract: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has brought renewed attention to respiratory aerosol and droplet generation. While many studies have robustly quantified aerosol (<10 µm diameter) number and mass exhalation rates, fewer studies have explored larger droplet generation. This study quantifies respiratory droplets (>20 µm diameter) generated by a cohort of 76 adults and children using a water-sensitive paper droplet deposition approach. Unvoiced and voiced activities spanning different levels of loudness, diff
