These are the best non-medical face masks, study finds - KPRC Click2Houston

A team of scientists at Florida Atlantic University published a study which compared different types of non-medical face masks offering the best protection, CNN reported.

Lead by researcher Siddhartha Verma, a team studied four types of masks: a bandanna, a cone-style mask used at pharmacies, a handkerchief and a mask made from a t-shirt.

Using a mannequin, they determined how well face masks block droplets as they exit the mouth?

And the study results are in: the t-shirt and the handkerchief masks are more effective than the bandanna, reducing droplets significantly
