Systematic experimental comparison of particle filtration efficiency test methods for commercial respirators and face masks

Systematic experimental comparison of particle filtration efficiency test methods for commercial respirators and face masks

Abstract Respirators, medical masks, and barrier face coverings all filter airborne particles using similar physical principles. However, they are tested for certification using a variety of standardized test methods, creating challenges for the comparison of differently certified products. We have...
