COVID virus can be transmitted via airborne routes. The virus begins in the lung and is exhaled out through respiratory activities such as breathing and talking. When the virus is spread out through the mouth or nose, it is either contained within large droplets that settle down quickly or tiny aerosols (100 times smaller than a human hair diameter) that stay and flow with air for even hours. In this exhibit, we will be able to see the transmission of the tiny infectious aerosols using smoke visualization and answer questions through aerosol measurements.
