Figures & data
Figure 1. Aerosol particle mass emission rates during different exercises (dark blue, left y-axis), and the average number of droplets per frame (from image analysis, see ) in the exhaled air during the same exercises (red, right y-axis). Particle mass was measured in the range 0.5–10 µm. Each blue box represent data for 12 singers for aerosol particles and 5 singers for droplets. Two high values for loud singing not shown.
