This study used a standard mask testing method (ASTM F2101-14) and a model virus (bacteriophage MS2) to test the viral filtration efficiency (VFE) of fabric masks compared with commercially available disposable surgical and N95 masks. Five different types of fabric masks were purchased from the ecommerce website Etsy to represent a range of

filtration efficiency test and it does not evaluate the surgical mask’s ability to provide any protection to the wearer. Only a specimen of the mask material is tested unlike the case of a respirator where the full respirator filter body is tested. In the test a specimen of the mask is tested against an aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus.

The steam had little effect on the filtration efficiency which remained above 95%. In a recent pre-print by Liao et al. [12] it was shown that steam treatment on N95 compatible melt-blown fabric did not considerably impact the efficiency and pressure drop in the first three steam treatment cycles. In a study published by Bergman et al. in

counter. The analysis revealed that the filtration efficiency for 0.5 um particles ranged from 3% to 43% for the unsealed masks and 42% to 51% for the sealed. For 1.0 um particles the efficiency was 58% to 75% for unsealed and 71% to 84% for sealed masks. For 2.0 um the efficiency was 58% to 79% for unsealed masks and 69% to 85% for the
