Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

1

Results

Aerosol reach was significantly greater for loud voice and coughing both at vertical height and the head-to-tail width direction. The radiotherapy staff who were in the presence of the participant sometimes had many particles adhering to their facial area; particle adhesion to the staff was dominated by small size particles. Particle adherence to the irradiation device surface near the ceiling had particles larger than 1 mm.
