Abstract:
The 2019 pandemic is fueling benefits and inconveniences around the world. This scourge has subjected humans to wearing masks to curb the spread of the virus. The mask remains one of the effective means that has slowed down the wreak effect. Faced with the concern of the production of local masks on the eve of the shortage of medical masks, one solution is the regulation of the production sector through manufacturing control. No studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of locally manufactured fabric masks. Devices for testing for respirable fine particles are very expensive.
The objective of our study is to present the design and manufacture of the breathability and filtration test bench for local masks. To analyze and test the locally manufactured masks, they are listed on the market in the city, visually inspected, tested and controlled by means of the bench designed and manufactured. The results of the trials showed significant satisfaction in the effectiveness on the pleated masks
