Filtration Performance and Fiber Shedding Behavior in Common Respirator and Face Mask Materials
Abstract Wearing respirators and face masks is effective for protecting the public from COVID-19 infection. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the performance of the commonly used respirators and face masks. Two experimental systems were developed to investigate seven different mask materials, which...
