Wearing a face mask can protect yourself and others from Covid-19, but the type of material and how many fabric layers used can significantly affect exposure risk, finds a study from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The study measured the filtration efficiency of submicron particles passing through a variety of different materials. For comparison, a human hair is about 50 microns in diameter while 1 millimetre is 1,000 microns in size.
“A submicron particle can stay in the air for hours and days, depending on the ventilation, so if you have a room that is not ventilated or poorly ventilated then these small particles can stay there for a very long period of time,” said Nga Lee (Sally) Ng, associate professor and Tanner Faculty Fellow in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

A new study by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology has found that wearing a face mask can safeguard a person and others from COVID-19, but the kind of material and how many fabric layers are utilized can considerably influence the risk of exposure.

The study quantified the submicron particles’ filtration efficiency of passing through a range of different materials. By comparison, a strand of human hair measures around 50 μm in diameter, and 1 mm is equal to 1000 μm.
