    I remember when covid hit and there was an N95 shortage on the covid unit, we had to don and doff the same mask over and over again. They told us we were allowed one mask per day, and we could reuse that one mask up to 4-5 days in a row as long as we put a regular mask on top of it. Looking at what’s grown on those Petri dishes, it really puts things into perspective.

    Absolutely loved the electrostatic demo, super cool! One minor caveat is that these masks actually filter the worst at 0.3 micrometers. Anything smaller easily collides with the fibers due to Brownian Motion, anything larger is collected through impaction or electrostatic attraction. That's why these masks are tested at 0.3 micrometers... if it gets a 95% at that size, it probably gets much more at any other size.

      For now, I don't think we have the technology. A high enough density is needed in gowns, gloves, and caps so nothing can seep through nor go through, and most of available natural materials can't really provide that.
      The mask in the video as you know is made of a mix of polyester fibers, which does a great job of trapping bacterias and viruses (which is also the reason pet owners rarely use plastic feeding bowls), and a cloth one doesn't have the same efficiency.

    I'm just a passing scientist with some thoughts and I have no knowledge of how N95 masks are produced nor do I intend to look too deeply into it. But I do have some thoughts just based on this video:
    @2:48 I'm sure they've already done testing to show that charging the fibers makes the masks more efficient at filtering debris. I'm curious though because I would imagine that it should have the opposite effect. Imagine bottom-feeders; they have these hairy fibrous appendages that they wave around in the water to filter food out which they then eat---the purpose is to catch food that is passing through the water by collecting them in one place. If the mask is charged, wouldn't that be functionally the same? For the magnet you found, would that have passed through the mask and been inhaled by the you if the mask wasn't charged? Would it have even been there in the first place if the mask wasn't charged? I imagine you would want the mask to repel debris away from you, not attract them.
    I imagine their experiment would have been something like: (1) An enclosed tube with an opening on one end (2) A device measuring the number of particulates in the tube (3) A mask is placed over the open end of the tube (4) They simulate an environment with a high number of charged particles (maybe something like fiberglass which you would find during home construction) (5) measure the number of particulates that get into the tube without an N95, with a non-charged N95, and with a charged N95.
    @4:16 This experiment only shows how well the N95 masks blocks bacterial contamination since viruses need a host cell to replicate; they cannot grow on plates by themselves. I imagine for testing against viruses, they would have used what's called a viral plaque assay: (1) a lawn of bacteria is grown on a plate (2) A known quantity of bacteriophage is pushed through the N95 mask (3) They then measure how much bacteria is killed compared to a control group where the bacteriophage was not pushed through the N95.
    @5:19 A lot of the colonies from the inside and the outside of the mask look like they are from the same type of microbe; how do we know that the ones from the outside of the mask aren't just the microbes that you are breathing through from the inside of the mask? I think the best way to show this would be to have a sterilized mannequin wear the mask and then to swab both inside and outside after a time. That way you know the mannequin cannot be a source of microbial contamination and that if the N95 is truly filtering, then the inside of the mask should be cleaner than the outside.
    Anyway, good video. It's always good to expose more people to science.

      My understanding is that rejection of cloth masks-- which lack the features of the mask in this video -- is usually their main point. Medical grade masks are generally acknowledged as helping reduce inhaled particles. The argument is that whether the amount of reduction is worth the cost of wearing the medical grade mask. They would probably say that decision ought to be left to individuals.

    Love your channel and content. As a nurse who has worked through the thick of COVID the last 3 years, on a COVID unit, and wearing the N-95 masks for hours long each shift, I can attest to it's ability to protect the wearer. Long story short, I was the first to a code blue situation for a covid patient wearing only a surgical mask (in times of crisis, sometimes we tend to forget about ourselves and focus on the person in need) and had began CPR. Minutes later when I was relieved, fellow colleagues mentioned to me that I need to put my N95 on in which I did but didn't think nothing of it after the event. 3 days later, I tested positive had a terrible 2 week long recovery. Luckily, I didn't have to be hospitalized or deal with any major complications, but the fact that I knew what covid does to people had me worried and thinking about it every single day until I recovered.
    Masks do work. We are in a recovery time, but it's not time to get complacent. Stay safe all.
