High Level Bioaerosol Protection against Infective Aerosols: How Medical Face Masks Compare against Respirators
Face masks and respirators are commonly used to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases that spread by respiratory droplets and aerosols. However, there is still uncertainty about the protective effect of the different types of masks against virus containing aerosols. To determine the as-wor...
