Popis:	The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of wearing effective facepiece filtering respirators (FFRs) to reduce infection and disease transmission. One of the reasons causing the widespread prevalence was found to be the failure of N95-Equivalent FFRs (N95-EFs), i.e., efficiency <500nm). Based on the pressure drop, respirator area, and surface potential of the N95-EFs, an empirical equation is developed to fast screen and help design effective N95-EFs.
