Inhaling to mitigate exhaled bioaerosols

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that, by altering lung airway surface properties through an inhaled nontoxic aerosol, this work might substantially diminish the number of exhaled bioaerosol droplets and thereby provide a simple means to potentially mitigate the spread of airborne infectious disease independently of the identity of the airborne pathogen or the nature of any specific therapy.

TL;DR: Inhalation of BDP/formoterol HFA (100/6 microg), both dissolved in hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) and delivered by pressurized metered dose inhaler in healthy subjects, asthmatic, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, produces high and homogeneous deposition of B DP and formoterol in the airways, regardless of pathophysiological condition.
