Not all valved N95 masks are the same when filtering exhaled air, study finds
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Using valved respirators to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has been discouraged due to concerns that valves do not effectively filter particles from exhaled air, but few studies actually have looked at this. Now, researchers report in Environmental Science & Technology Letters on their performance.
