*CDC specifies AGPs, “aerosol-generating procedures,” as procedures likely to induce coughing (e.g., sputum induction, open suctioning of airways) and provides specific recommendations – see N95 Respirators (HEPA or High-Efficiency-Particulate-Air Filter Respirators) as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

**APF – established by OSHA; refers to factor by which mask reduces aerosol concentration. E.g., N95 masks have APF of 10, meaning there are 1/10th the number of particles inside the mask than outside.
