Abstract

Experiments have been carried out to measure the magnitude and sign of ESC generated on the surface of the protective equipment such as face shields, eyeglasses, and goggles to improve their effectiveness to protect the wearer from viruses. It was found that the face shield made of polypropylene (PP) generated negative ESC. Because the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has negative charge, it is necessary that the surfaces of lenses of goggles and eyeglasses as well as face shields for health care workers should be made of materials that gain negative ESC to repel viruses away from the wearers and protect their eyes from infection.
