Hi Linds, Kim, Taz
I found this current article by the modern N-95 mask's electret
filtration's inventor of interest, and for you MD's could also be worth
a quick skim through! :
https://utrf.tennessee.edu/information-faqs-performance-protection-sterilization-of-face-mask-materials/
Summary:
o The mask has a face-seal, an outer water-proofing layer, an
electret charged filtration layer, and a face-contact layer.
o Contact with alcohol ruins the electret.
o Masks can be re-sterilized by 30min of 70°C air, or 3 min of
125° steam.
o A set of masks can also be re-used in rotation, if each is allowed
to rest long enough between uses for any pathogens to degrade.
