This critical review identifies studies reporting instances of infected patients producing airborne human pathogenic coronaviruses, and evidence for the role of physical/chemical characteristics of human-generated droplets in altering embedded viruses' viability. Based on previous literature, healthy subjects can produce particles between 0.01 The aerosols generated through speech, coughing, sneezing, and breathing have been 178 surveyed in several studies (Table 1) 290 Hygroscopic salts influence the transport of water vapor, and allow for humidity dependent 359 droplet sizes as described by Köhler theory (Köhler, 1936) .
