Berkeley Lab experiment on indoor contaminant exposure

Caption

In one of the room configurations, Berkeley Lab researchers put eight participants facing inward like in a meeting. One manikin, designated as the “speaker,” was outfitted with a device to expel aerosols to simulate a person talking. The other manikins had a CO2 sensor and optical particle counter placed in their breathing zone. There were also sensors throughout the room to measure temperature, air velocity, and CO2.
