Filtration efficiency and differential pressure of fabrics used in non-medical masks based on SARS COVID-19 particle size
Non-medical fabric masks, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, are available in various fabrics. There is limited research on the overall effectiveness of fabrics used to make masks. The purpose of this study was to assess fabrics commonly...
