The key physics behind an N95 respirator is that it uses a tight-fitting, multi-layered nonwoven material to filter at least XX% of airborne particles as small as XXX microns, including many infectious aerosols. It works by both mechanical filtration (physically trapping particles) and electrostatic attraction (charged fibers attract and capture particles), which makes it far more effective than cloth or surgical masks for blocking tiny aerosolized pathogens.
