Title: Fighting Viral Outbreaks with Nanofiber Technologies

The virus can spread from human to human. According to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the size of this virus is about 100nm. When airborne or aerosolized, the virus can be attached to nuclei particles, which can be fine particles in the respiratory tracts or saliva and nasal droplets of an infected person, as well as fine particles suspended in air. Regardless, the minimum size of airborne nCoV is about 100nm when attached to a nano-size particle. The 100nm size airborne particle is referred to as nanoaerosol (also known as nanoparticle or ultrafine particle). While the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has standardized N95 and N98 at 300nm, there is no standard filtration test for nanoaerosols at 100nm.
