Intra-Mask CO2 Levels N95 Mask CO2 Study - Final Results This directory contains the final analysis results for the N95 mask CO2 study. Tables Table 1: \ - Summary statistics for CO2 measurements by mask type and measurement phase Figures Figure 1: \ - Bar chart showing CO2 levels by measurement type Figure 2: \ - Box plot showing distribution of CO2 values Figure 3: \ - Comparison of CO2 levels between single and double mask configurations Figure 4: \ - Correlation heatmap between CO2 levels, temperature, and humidity Study Summary The study measured CO2 concentrations inside N95 masks during different phases of the respiratory cycle, comparing single versus double mask configurations. Key Findings: Baseline CO2: 518.47 +/- 132.76 ppm End of inspiration: 4567.72 +/- 1681.43 ppm End of expiration: 9006.54 +/- 1605.02 ppm CO2 levels are significantly elevated inside N95 masks during the respiratory cycle End-of-expiration CO2 levels are approximately 17.4x higher than baseline End-of-inspiration CO2 levels are approximately 8.8x higher than baseline There is no significant difference in CO2 levels between single and double masks during breathing CO2 levels show correlation with humidity (r=0.87) and temperature (r=0.52) For detailed statistical analysis, see the \ file
