A comparison of performance metrics for cloth masks as source control devices for simulated cough and exhalation aerosols

Universal mask wearing is recommended to help control the spread of COVID-19. Masks reduce the expulsion of aerosols of respiratory fluids into the environment (called source control) and offer some protection to the wearer. Masks are often characterized using filtration efficiency, airflow resistan...
