The detectors located next to personal humidifiers showed a decrease in exposure to airborne pathogens.
Humidifiers near the detector (person) can decrease the exposure to airborne pathogens.

At all distances, we find that increasing RH above 40% results in a substantial decrease in exposure rates.
Evidence that increased humidity decreases exposure.
-
exposure to aerosolized phage.
Does more humidity in the room mean less change of exposure to aerosols if you are located far from the source. Additionally, time spent in the room from start of aerosolization has to be taken into consideration.
-
aerosolization, where an infected individual generates virus-carrying particles that can remain suspended in the air for long periods.
Examples of how aerosolization can occur that then leads to the pathogen particles becoming airborne.
-
determined that increasing the relative humidity beyond 40% significantly reduces dispersal.
So by increasing the humidity in a classroom/lab there could be more control over the dispersal of airborne pathogens?
