エアロゾル学会・高橋幹二賞 TAKAHASHI AWARD (Aerosol Sci. & Tech., Japan) “Deposition of submicron aerosols by a closed-loop flow system” 閉ループ式エアロゾル流によるサブミクロン粒子の沈着
本論文で示された知見により、沈着効率が悪い従来法に代わって本手法を気液界面細胞曝露に応用できれば有用である。The method presented here may potentially be applied for the deposition and analysis of submicron particles on various types of substrate (i.e. air-liquid interface) without the need for vacuum imaging analysis (e.g. electron microscopy).
Online日本エアロゾル科学技術研究討論会 Symposium on Aerosol (27-28 Aug.)
日本エアロゾル学会第37回エアロゾル科学・技術研究討論会 (jaast.jp) Annual Meeting (Conference) of Japan Association of Aerosol Science and Technology. For the first time, JAAST made the meeting in online. 新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴い，全国規模の「緊急事態宣言」が発出されました．宣言解除後も予断を許さない状況であり，「感染拡大の防止」および「安全な討論会開催」の観点から，本年度は現地開催を取りやめ，「オンライン開催」へ変更することを決定いたしました．In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, a nationwide “state of emergency” has been declared. Even after the declaration has been lifted, the situation is still unpredictable, and from the…
数μmのエアロゾル液滴が親水性表面にどのように沈着するのか？Micrometer-sized droplet aerosols on to a hydrophilic surface. 応用例：エアロゾル吸入器など
大気に浮遊する微粒子の沈着の場所について考えてみた。”Wet”微粒子は「親水性の高い」場所に多く沈着する。”Dry”微粒子”は「親水性の低い」場所に多く沈着する。Considered the location of the deposition of particles suspended in the air. The results: “More hydrophilic” area trapped more “wet” particles. The “less hydrophilic” area trapped more “dry” particles.

口腔内から発せられた粒子に関して（エアロゾル学会）Particles emitted from mouth
Air flow and ventilation or air purifiers are necessary to expel aerosol particles floating in closed spaces!「閉空間に漂うエアロゾル粒子を追い出すには空気の流れと換気・空気清浄機が必要です!」
マスク装着に関して（エアロゾル学会）Mask-wearing
Point-1.「繊維の隙間より小さい粒子はマスクのフィルターを通過する」は間違い “Particles smaller than the fiber gap pass through the filter of the mask” is not accurate
Point-2. 大事なことはマスクのフィルター性能より,マスクの縁と顔表面との隙間からの漏れ（侵入）を少しでもなくすこと。It is important to eliminate the leakage (intrusion) from the gap between the mask edge and the face surface, rather than the filter performance of the mask.
