사람들의 건강권 확보를 위한 미세먼지 방지 안면마스크 여과효율 연구

Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the filtering effect of the fine dust mask. Our objective research has secured credibility in the private sector. The performance of domestic fine dust masks is evaluated by three dust collection efficiencies, inspiratory resistance, and leakage rate according to KF grade in the health mask standard guidelines issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Based on this, eight types of fine dust masks were evaluated for dust collection efficiency and face intake resistance. All masks showed good performance as the collection efficiency was 90%. The higher the KF grade, the higher the collection efficiency, but the inspiratory resistance had no correlation with the grade. According to the manufacturer's operation method, masks below the standard value may be distributed. Masks that are currently on the market have shown results that can be trusted. However, we hope that the system will be improved to validate whether the masks that meet the threshold are still being distributed.
