Good Afternoon,

I am seeking information about the use of air blowing hand driers in ACF. A local ACF has approached me for assistance is having them removed due to the aerosols generated. I understand that paper towel is the preferred drying option, however there is nowhere i can find anything that states air blown hand driers are inappropriate.
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you.
Kind regards
