Comparison of the Filter Efficiency of Medical Nonwoven Fabrics against Three Different Microbe Aerosols
Description
Abstract: “…the filter efficiencies against influenza virus particles were the lowest…”
“We conclude that the filter efficiency test using the phi-X174 phage aerosol may overestimate the protective performance of nonwoven fabrics with filter structure compared to that against real pathogens such as the influenza virus.”
