Apparatus with Exhaust Spacer to Improve Filtration of Pathogens in Respiratory Emissions of Sneezes

摘要

Apparatus and method to mitigate the spread of respiratory emission of a sneeze are disclosed. The apparatus includes a spacer component and at least one filtration component. The at least one filtration component is disposed atop the spacer component. The spacer component includes a corrugated sheet, which forms a plurality of directional flutes to direct filtered air out of the apparatus. The least one filtration component filters the respiratory emission to produce the filtered air. In accordance with the method, the respiratory emission is filtered through at least one filtration component to produce filtered air, and the filtered air is directed through a spacer component comprising a corrugated sheet, which forms a plurality of directional flutes that direct the filtered air out of the apparatus.
