Dynamics of charged aerosols relevant to transmission of airborne infections

• A simple model including the effects of initial velocity, air drag, gravity, and electrostatics on the dynamics of airborne droplets emitted from humans is presented. It is found that relatively large droplets can also travel far if their charge and/or the atmospheric electric field is sufficiently large.
