Abstract

The Eva-Covid project, coordinated by Kevin Roger (UMR (5503) - Laboratoire de Génie Chimique (LGC) - National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse), aims to study the link between the history of a respiratory droplet (composition, size, relative humidity, temperature) with its contamination efficiency. The project is based on the deployment of a strategy combining experiments and theory, taking into account the non-ideal thermodynamics of complex aqueous solutions and the osmotic conditions encountered by viruses throughout drying.
