COVID-19 Mask Research: Aerosol Droplets and Types of Masks (N95, Cotton, Kerchief, No Mask)

I cover a recent research article on particle size and mask types (N95, Cotton, Kerchief, and No Mask). Research strongly supports the wearing of masks, but often a kerchief or thin mask is worse in the sense it creates many more small particles. Research is still unclear on the role of these small particles and aerosol transmission compared to larger particle transmission.

Chemistry lectures and "How to" videos from a university professor and Ph.D. chemist. I also live stream every week on Twitch where I discuss the latest news in climate change, space travel, and the intersection of science and politics.
