Abstract
This study combines particle measurements and acoustic measurements to study aerosols generated in breathing, speaking, singing and coughing. Particle measurements are carried out using a portable measurement chamber designed specially for the study. Acoustic measurements of voice production are conduced to standardize measurements in human aerosol emission and to reveal possible reasons for the individual differences in particle generation. Understanding mechanisms of human aerosol generation is important in trying to understand how the airborne transmission of pathogens takes place and furthermore in assessing how to minimize the risk of transmission. The results can be used in the context of all airborne diseases.
