Measurement of small droplet aerosol concentrations in public spaces using handheld particle counters 2020-10-14 .txt text/plain 1846 114 56 To demonstrate the usefulness of our novel method, we perform measurements in typical public spaces that can play a role in aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, each differing in volume, number of people and ventilation rate. Using this easily applicable method, aerosol concentrations can be measured in any public space which is important to determine the risk is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in (which was not certified by peer review) preprint Using the half-times as measured by us, we calculate that the decrease in the number of aerosol particles after these 6 minutes will vary between 50 and 100%, depending on the ventilation method and the size of the public space.
