Improving Filtration Efficacy of Medical Face Masks

Abstract We built a simple unipolar positive corona charger and tested it with five different medical face masks. Charging the particles significantly enhanced the filtration efficiencies of all of the masks in terms of the submicron fraction, with an average increase of from 58 to 93% for 0.3 µm pa...
