How do filters remove particles from the air and reduce exposure - especially the small ones? As this Risk Bites primer shows as it dives into the science of aerosol particle capture, it may not be how you think! Air filters are an important tool for protecting health, improving air quality, and reducing air pollution by removing potentially harmful particles from the air you breathe. But how they work isn't that intuitive -- especially at small particle sizes. #filter #risk #dust #exposure USEFUL LINKS Video techniques for effective science communication: https://riskinnovation.asu.edu/video-techniques/ RISK BITES Risk Bites videos are devised, created and produced by Andrew Maynard, in association with the Arizona State University School for the Future of Innovation in Society (http://sfis.asu.edu).

How do face masks and respirators prevent you from breathing in harmful particles? As respiratory protection against coronavirus becomes increasingly important, Risk Bites dives into the science of face masks and respirators, and explores what makes for good protection, whether it’s a professional
Should people who aren't scientists have a say in what science gets done, and how it is used? This week, Risk Bites takes on the knotty topic of science and public engagement. This video was created to preface a conference session on engaging publics on science and technology -- synthetic biolog
