cord-324585-2rx84imv	Konda, Abhiteja	Aerosol Filtration Efficiency of Common Fabrics Used in Respiratory Cloth Masks	2020-04-24		.txt	text/plain	5084	268	56	13 −16 In this paper, we report the results of experiments where we measure the filtration efficiencies of a number of common fabrics, as well as selective combinations for use as hybrid cloth masks, as a function of aerosol sizes ranging from ∼10 nm to 6 μm. 25 There have been a few studies reported on the use of cloth face masks mainly during or after the Influenza Pandemic in 2009; [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] 26 However, there is still a lack of information that includes (i) the performance of various fabrics as a function of particle size from the nanoscale to the micron sized (particularly important because this covers the ∼10 nm to ∼5 μm size scale for aerosols) and (ii) the effect of hybrid multilayer approaches for masks that can combine the benefits of different filtering mechanisms across different aerosol size ranges.	./cache/cord-324585-2rx84imv.txt	./txt/cord-324585-2rx84imv.txt
