What Factors Influence the Spread of Respiratory Droplets?
Several factors can influence the spread of respiratory droplets, including:
Size of the Droplets: Larger droplets tend to fall to the ground quickly, whereas smaller droplets can remain airborne. Environmental Conditions: Humidity, temperature, and air flow can affect how long droplets stay in the air. Proximity: The closer individuals are to an infected person, the higher the risk of exposure. Ventilation: Well-ventilated spaces can help disperse droplets, reducing the risk of transmission.
