Air is drawn into the device at a flow rate of 1 L\/min through a narrow nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, accelerating the aerosols to approximately 130 m\/s and directing them toward the sensor. When a particle, either solid or liquid, enters the electric field, it displaces an equivalent volume of air. Because the particle\u2019s dielectric constant differs from that of air, the sensor\u2019s capacitance changes accordingly. This change in capacitance (\u2206C) is converted by a charge-sensitive amplifier into a corresponding voltage pulse (\u2206V).<br>Detection is selective for droplets because their high dielectric constant produces a strong and resolvable signal. The primary component of RDs is water, which has a dielectric constant of approximately 78.2. In contrast, typical indoor solid pollutants, such as carbon-based combustion particles, have dielectric constants below 15. The substantial dielectric contrast between a droplet and air generates a detectable capacitance shift. Conversely, particles or substances with dielectric constants similar to that of air produce capacitance changes that are indistinguishable from electronic noise and therefore are not resolved as discrete signals.<br>More detailed information is available in the original study: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acssensors.5c02057\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acssensors.5c02057<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae2cf2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ae2cf2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2becd99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2becd99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airborne transmission of infectious diseases remains a major public health challenge.
