Indicates that a rain drop can attract “tens to hundreds” of particles (plus the one it nucleates around). Since rain clouds are about 5000 feet up, shower (or hose) water traveling 5-10 feet would be expected to grab 0-1 particle, depending on the ionization, which is also generated by the atmospheric generation method, which is not present in the “stream of municipal water separating into droplets”
It’s a different process.
