Mask Material Filtration Efficiency and Mask Fitting at the Crossroads: Implications during Pandemic Times
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the widespread use and need for respirators and face masks for the healthcare workers and public. In this study, several generally available respirators and mask designs were fit tested, and their materials were evaluated for filtration efficiency using 250 n...
