Risk Exposure during Showering and Water-Saving Showers

Risk Exposure during Showering and Water-Saving Showers

Eco-friendly showers aim to lower energy and water consumption by generating smaller water droplets than those produced by traditional systems. To evaluate the risk of users inhaling the contaminants associated with such water droplets—namely, chemical components or opportunistic bacterial pathogens...
