Highlights
- Tap aerators can spread contaminated aerosol particles in the environment.
- Aerosol particles characteristics and production differ with different types of aerators.
- Aerator fouling can lead to higher contaminated aerosol particles production.
- Thorough mechanical cleaning of an aerator is effective at reducing biofilm.
