Outward and inward protections of different mask designs for different respiratory activities

2021-04-10

Abstract excerpt

We evaluate the outward and inward protections of different mask types (N95, surgical and two cloth mask designs) taking into account the imperfect fit on the wearer. To this end, we built a manikin to simulate exhaling, coughing and inhaling of aerosol droplets 0.3–5.0 µ m in diameters. The outward and inward protections depend on many factors, including the droplet size, the mask fit and the presence of a filter...
