Reduction of Carbon Dioxide in Filtering Facepiece Respirators with an Active-Venting System: A Computational Study

During expiration, the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) levels inside the dead space of a filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) increase significantly above the ambient concentration. To reduce the CO(2) concentration inside the dead space, we attach an active lightweight venting system (AVS) comprising a one-...
