Edit of "Respiratory Droplet" page Rejected !

[edit]

Dear Editors.

We uploaded the text below to edit the wikipedia page "Respiratory Droplet" that was modified by you and then rejected. Our text below is a summary of the findings of a recent publication from the American Institute of Physics that received worldwide attention (over 150 outlets). We have added the reference to the paper too. The summary was removed from your team, but we cannot understand what the reason is. We would most appreciate it if you would advise us on this matter. Many thanks for your time.

Best regards,

Dr Talib Dbouk

Orginal text:


"In May 2020 Dbouk and Drikakis ([1]) published a study On Coughing and Airborne Droplet Transmission to Humans showing for the first time that respiratory droplets may travel up to unexpected considerable distances depending on the wind speed. Their discovery was based on advanced multiphase flow simulations that take into account the relative humidity, the turbulent dispersion forces, droplets phase-change, evaporation and breakup in addition to the droplets-droplets and droplets-air interactions. When the wind speed was approximately zero, the saliva droplets do not go beyond 2 meters, which is within the social distancing recommendations. However, at wind speeds varying from 4 to 15 km/h, the researchers found that saliva droplets can travel to distances up to 6 meters with decreasing concentrations and liquid droplets size in the wind direction. Their findings imply that the 2 meters social distance may not be sufficient."
