Increasing evidence supports the significant role of short-range airborne transmission of viruses when in close contact with a source patient. A full-scale ventilated room (Cleanliness: ISO 14644–1 Class 5) and two face-to-face standing breathing thermal manikins were used to simulate a source individual and a susceptible person. Monodisperse particle generation and measurement techniques were used to evaluate the effect of virus-laden droplet nuclei size on short-range airborne transmission risk. We analysed four particle sizes (1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 5.0 µm) to simulate the transport of exhaled droplet nuclei within an interpersonal distance of 0.5 m. The results indicated that the size distribution of airborne droplet nuclei could significantly influence transmission, with the inhalation fraction decreasing with increasing droplet nuclei size. Additionally, results showed that proximity to the source manikin could influence transmission. Inhalation fraction decreased with increasing interpersonal distance, fitting well with the 1/d rule of droplet nuclei concentration decay. Our findings improve the understanding of the mechanism of the disease transmission.
