Abstract: Hygiene regulations and social distancing are very effective in blocking short distance infections. During the lockdown, the distance rules can usually be adhered to, but what happens when the actual lockdown is over, and the people meet again in a confined space? Then additional effective and efficient protection is essential to stabilize infection rates. Since the viruses are spread by contact and droplet infection, technical devices are required that effectively intervene in the chain of infection and effectively block infection. An effective protection is the respiratory mask as known since 100 years. This patent application discloses an alternative to mask that is an aerosol protection helmet (APH) for various applications in the environment. The aerosol protection helmet consists of adjustable air sucking and blowing devices in different form factors based on the application. The aerosol protection helmet protects against any aerosol in the environment.

Since the viruses are spread by contact and droplet infection, technical devices are required that effectively intervene in the chain of infection and effectively block infection. An effective protection is the respiratory mask as known since 100 years. This patent application discloses an alternative to mask that is a patient aerosol protection for various applications in the environment. The patient aerosol protection consists of adjustable air sucking devices in different form factors based on the application. The patient aerosol protection protects against any aerosol released by a patient in the environment.

An effective protection is the respiratory mask as known since 100 years. An alternative to mask is an aerosol protection system for various applications in environment. The protection system consists of adjustable air sucking device and air blowing device in different form factors based on application. The aerosol protection system uses either an air curtain or air shield to prevent the aerosol going from one side of the curtain or shield to the other side.
