“…As can be observed, under all three simulated breathing flow rates, the aerosol penetration of all three tested N95 respirators increases linearly with the passage of testing time. This finding, which is consistent with several previous studies [ [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] ], can be explained by the following reasons: First, during the simulated donning process, aerosols in the inhaled airflow will continuously deposit on the electret fibre. Second, the 37°C and 100% RH exhaled airflow will also cause continuous condensation of water vapor on the electret fibre.…”
