Fairbanks, Alaska (UAF) - Four science instruments at Delta Junction have begun gathering air quality data as part of a multistate project to determine the chemical content and physical properties of airborne particulate matter.
Posted Today Wearing a face mask can protect yourself and others from Covid-19, but the type of material and how many fabric layers used can significantly affect exposure risk, finds a study from the Georgia Institute of Technology. The study measured the filtration efficiency of submicron particles passing through a variety of different materials. For comparison, a human hair is about 50 microns in diameter while 1 millimetre is 1,000 microns in size. “A submicron particle can stay in the air for hours and days, depending on the ventilation, so if you have a room that is not ventilated or ...
Properly fitted multilayer masks block 84 per cent of particles expelled by a person wearing it, while two people donning these types of masks can reduce transmission by close to 96 per cent, according to a new study. While wearing a face mask can protect people from COVID-19, scientists, including those from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US, said the type of material, tightness of fit, and the number of fabric layers used can significantly affect exposure risk to the novel coronavirus. The study, published in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology, measured the filtration eff...
