Face masks release water vapour but where does it go? An early observational study

2020-08-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> The aim of this observational study was to demonstrate the behaviour and trajectory of exhaled material from an individual wearing an FFP3 mask. Valves allow material release, but we theorised that valve design may direct material downwards towards patient and surrounding environment. Limiting transmission of diseases with aerosolised spread is a current and serious concern within healthcare wo...
