In the figure below, the $x-$bar values are the average shedding

rate per minute of particles in the order of $0\mathrm{.}4m$ to $10m$ in size

in the given regions. Considering the shedding rate of skin flakes

for the average person, show that the overall efficiency of this

garment is above $99\mathrm{.}9\%$ for this particle size range.

The average person has

around $35$ billion skin

flakes of $0\mathrm{.}4$ to $10m$ in

size near the surface of

their skin that are ready to

detach.

These take about three days

to shed.

This equates to $8$ million per

minute!

Some get trapped in clothing.
