However, viruses in the real world are not immersed in culture media; they are present in respiratory fluid, wastewater, freshwater, seawater, and other fluids. Given the complexity of environmental matrices, a more complete understanding of the effect of individual media components on the inactivation of viruses in aerosols and droplets is needed. In addition to salts and proteins, the levels of surfactants and pH vary substantially in environmentally and physiologically relevant fluids [19, 20]. Experiments are needed to disentangle the effects of different chemical components of the fluid on virus viability across the range of concentrations found in environmentally and physiologically relevant sources.","tracks":[]}
