An experimental setup for physiological evaluation of face mask by Joseph, Frank Gerard

“…Although reliable and consistent, the current test method fails to test the mask under human physiological conditions and instead has become an assessment of the effectiveness based on the material used. This project aims to improve the long-used face mask testing methods and processes to better evaluate the efficacy of a face mask while considering the physiological variables when tested in a near-human environment. …”
