Polymer additives to personal protective equipment can inactivate pathogens

2021-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Face masks have been proven to be medicine’s best public health tool for preventing transmission of airborne pathogens. However, in situations with continuous exposure, lower quality and “do-it-yourself” face masks cannot provide adequate protection against pathogens, especially when mishandled. In addition, the use of multiple face masks each day places a strain on personal protective equipment (PPE) supply and i...
