Mask Fit Testing
for Healthy Subjects
This study examines the role of craniofacial dimensions and self-evaluation thereof in the protection afforded by masks commonly worn by the public as protection against aerosol contaminants. The effectiveness of instructions for self-evaluation of craniofacial dimensions will be tested against standard digital and manual craniometric methods. Approximately 500 (18-70 year old) subjects. After consenting to participate in the study, subjects will use a short self-assessment questionnaire to measure their craniofacial dimensions, and have their face measured using standard anthropological techniques and a 3D camera. They will then enter a chamber containing an atmosphere of aerosolized salt particles where the fitted filtering efficiency of 2 types of face masks will be measured briefly. Participation time is approximately 60 minutes.

Wood Smoke Exposure
for Healthy Subjects
MASKOFF Clinical Trials 8/22/23 Brief Summary: Purpose: The study is designed to investigate cardiovascular effects of young healthy human subjects exposed to wood smoke. Participants: Approximately 80 young (18-35 years old) healthy subjects to complete. Procedure (methods): After consenting to participate in the study, subjects will be exposed first to filtered air and on the next exposure day to approximately 500 µg/m\^3 wood smoke. Both exposures will be 2 hours long with alternating 15 min of exercise (cycle ergometer) and 15 min rest period. The exercise level will be adjusted to achieve approximately 20 L/min/m\^2 minute ventilation. Venous blood samples and measurements of lung, cardiac and vascular function will be made prior to and immediately following each exposure. Induced sputum samples and nasal epithelial lining fluid will be collected approximately 24 hours post each exposure.
