Filtration and Breathability of Nonwoven Fabrics Used in Washable Masks
Abstract We consider fabrics that can improve upon the performance of the widespread all-cotton mask, and examines the effect of layering, machine washing and drying on their filtration and breathability. Individual materials were evaluated for their quality factor, Q, which combines filtration effi...
