Prototyping and testing of novel facemasks for protection against SARS-CoV-2 aerosol transmission

The proposed research project to be undertaken by the interns involves laboratory measurement of the filtration efficiency and pressure drop of fabric-based filtration media. Results of these experiments will inform the selection of filtration media used by the partner organization for mass production of made-in-Alberta masks for protection of the public against viral transmission. Such protection is critical in helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
