AB  - The increase of the industrialization process brought the growth of pollutant 
      emissions into the atmosphere. At the same time, the demand for advances in 
      aerosol filtration is evolving towards more sustainable technologies. 
      Electrospinning is gaining notoriety, once it enables to produce polymeric 
      nanofibers with different additives and also the obtaining of small pore sizes 
      and fiber diameters; desirable features for air filtration materials. Therefore, 
      this work aims to evaluate the filtration performance of cellulose acetate (CA) 
      nanofibers and cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) produced by 
      electrospinning technique for retention of aerosol nanoparticles. The pressure 
      drop and collection efficiency measurements of sodium chloride (NaCl) aerosol 
      particles (diameters from 7 to 300 nm) were performed using Scanning Mobility 
      Particle Sizer (SMPS). The average diameter of the electrospun nanofibers used 
      was 239 nm, ranging from 113 to 398 nm. Experimental results indicated that the 
      nanofibers showed good permeability (10(-11) m(2)) and high-efficiency filtration 
      for aerosol nanoparticles (about 100 %), which can include black carbon (BC) and 
      the new coronavirus. The pressure drop was 1.8 kPa at 1.6 cm s(-1), which is 
      similar to reported for some high-efficiency nanofiber filters. In addition, it 
      also retains BC particles present in air, which was about 90 % for 375 nm and 
      about 60 % for the 880 nm wavelength. Finally, this research provided information 
      for future designs of indoor air filters and filter media for facial masks with 
      renewable, non-toxic biodegradable, and potential antibacterial characteristics.
