Abstract

We conducted experiments on mask filters. We measured filtering efficiencies of several new mask filters which were manufactured by disassembling and reassembling of one type of mask filter. New filter (A+C: combination of the first layer and the third layer of the tested mask filter) showed the highest efficiency (97.7%) with the respiratory resistance of 98 pa.
