Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is known to be transmitted via aerosolized liquid droplets

Microhabitats in dust and sediment can enhance the survival of pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 can survive for longer periods on surfaces like plastics

Thus, we hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 could be transported on particulate aerosols extending virus lifetimes in the atmosphere
