"75 percent of the air you breathe in a subway car is recycled. "

"Continuous air flow helps limit viral particles from building up inside a car and infecting people as they inhale"

"subway filters have a wave design that increases their surface area, creating more opportunities to trap droplets. The filters are made of fibers that force incoming air to change direction, trapping some particles as air is pulled through the filters."
