Abstract

Shortages of efficient filtering facepiece respirators leave the public vulnerable to transmission of infectious diseases in small particle aerosols. This study demonstrates that a high-filtration-efficiency facepiece capable of filtering out >95% of 0.05μm particles while being worn can be simply produced with available materials.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
