Effectiveness of different types of mask in aerosol dispersion in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Effectiveness of different types of mask in aerosol dispersion in SARS-CoV-2 infection

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the effectiveness of different mask types in limiting the dispersal of coughed air. Method: The Schlieren method with a single curved mirror was used in this study. Coughed air has a slightly higher temperature than ambient air, which generates a refractive index gra...
