Influence of Moisturizer and Relative Humidity on Human Emissions of Fluorescent Biological Aerosol Particles

摘要

Utilizing the ultraviolet-light induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) measurement technique as embodied in the Waveband-Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS-4A), we evaluated the superemicron fluorescent particle emissions associated with human shedding while walking. This study examined the influence of these two factors (moisturizer and relative humidity) on fluorescent bioaerosol emission rates associated with human shedding and found that both factors influenced the emission spectrum, in ways that were unexpected in some respects.
