Quantifying Respiratory Airborne Particle Dispersion Control Through Improvised Reusable Masks	2020-07-14		.txt	text/plain	5159	296	46	Objective: To determine the effectiveness of non-medical grade washable masks or face coverings in controlling airborne dispersion from exhalation (both droplet and aerosol), and to aid in establishing public health strategies on the wearing of masks to reduce COVID-19 transmission. If the SARS-CoV-2 aerosol is considered with an ability to infect for more than 3 hours with TCID50 of greater than 10 2 as noted in a recent laboratory study [1] then the understanding the effectiveness of non-medical masks and face coverings to control human exhalation aerosol dispersion has significant importance for broad public health infectious disease strategy, especially with asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic populations. The goal of this research is to determine the statistically significant factors and effectiveness of non-medical grade washable masks or face coverings in the control of aerosol dispersion of human exhalation, and to aid in establishing public health strategies or policies on the wearing of masks.	./cache/cord-310948-nt378esz.txt	./txt/cord-310948-nt378esz.txt
