Assessment of potential for viral contamination of user and environment via aerosols generated during hand drying: A pilot study
BACKGROUND: Hand drying is an essential step of hand hygiene, helping remove microbes remaining on hands following handwashing. However, it is unclear whether particles dispersed or aerosolized during hand drying can also have an impact on microbe dissemination and so pose an infection risk. METHODS...
