Navigating Performance Standards for Face Mask Materials: A Custom‐Built Apparatus for Measuring Particle Filtration Efficiency
Abstract
Public health agencies have recommended the community use of face masks to reduce the transmission of airborne diseases like COVID-19. Virus transmission is reduced when masks act as efficient filters, thus evaluating mask particle filtration efficiency (PFE) is essential. However, the high cost and long lead times associated with purchasing turn-key PFE systems or hiring certified laboratories hampers the testing of filter materials. There is …
