[37] found that the Collison reduced viability of generated influenza aerosols more than the other nebulisers studied. However, the nebulisation time was six times longer than this study, and the re-circulating nature of the Collison means it is less suited to such long spray times. However, the GSDs measured from the Collison and Omron nebulisers in that work accord well with ours, suggesting a similar particle size distribution, even between different virus types. Others, working with the SLAG to generate viral aerosols have had less success; Fennelly et al. failed to detect either viral RNA nor viable flu particles from SLAG nebulisation [38]. The SLAG systems, in this author’s opinion, represent an interesting avenue for further research for fragile microbial aerosols, especially as this study demonstrated the potential in further optimisation of the SLAG 1 inch.","tracks":[]}
