have found that when a man coughs,
splits or sneezes IN a large hall or
room where the air is quiet, these
tiny, invisible germladen droplets
will float in the air for a distance OF
25 to 100 feet. These tiny droplets,
IN the form or mist OF spray. may be
breathed in by other people. or they
may settle on objects with which
they come into intimate contact, such
