Characteristics of exhaled particle production in healthy volunteers: possible implications for infectious disease transmission [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/xa]

The size and concentration of exhaled particles may influence respiratory infection transmission risk. We assessed variation in exhaled particle production between individuals, factors associated with high production and stability over time. We measured exhaled particle production during tidal breat...
