    Aerosols are smaller and remain suspended in the air longer, so they take longer to settle and can travel further. [38] [4] Inhalation of aerosols can lead to infection, [39] but most transmission is in the area about two meters around an infected person via respiratory droplets [10] that come into contact with mucosa of the upper respiratory ...

    Respiratory droplets can be produced in many ways. They can be produced naturally as a result of breathing, talking, sneezing, coughing, or singing.They can also be artificially generated in a healthcare setting through aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), bronchoscopy, surgery, and autopsy.
