Please provide the journal reference for articles you quote. Do you have the reference for this quote - , “The role of pH sensitivity as a primary driver of the loss of viral infectivity in the aerosol phase is demonstrated through comparison of the bulk and aerosol survival of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs).”

Thanks
