New Findings From Japan: Video Simulation Shows Where The Virus Threat Hides
In autumn and winter, protection against indoor aerosols is particularly important. But in addition to wearing mouth and nose protection and keeping your distance, there are apparently other factors to consider, as Japanese scientists from the Riken Research Institute and Kobe University have now discovered.
In simulations that a supercomputer has calculated, the researchers show how aerosols propagate inside under different circumstances. Factors such as air humidity and the disposition of people in the room, as well as different types of mouth and nose covers, were examined.
Sample: If the moisture content in the air falls below 30 percent, the risk of infection is already double compared to a humidity of 60 percent. However, according to the researchers, the optimal humidity level alone is not enough to completely eliminate the danger of aerosols.
In the video you can see exactly how humidity affects the spread of aerosols, what role distance between people plays and how well face shields protect against aerosols:
