NEW MASK AGAINST CORONAVIRUS
On the other hand, scientists in England developed a mask that claimed to neutralize the new type of coronavirus.
A mask that is claimed to kill viruses in contact, including Kovid-19 and flu, was developed in the UK. Noting that the mask is 5-layer, including a nano-copper antiviral layer, it was stated that standard masks are three-layer.
According to the news of the newspaper Mirror, the new antiviral face mask was prepared by a scientist at Nottingham Trent University.
Noting that the mask is 5-layer, including a nano-copper antiviral layer, it was stated that standard masks are three-layer.
It was stated that the nano-copper material used has ions that allow the virus to die when it comes into contact with particles and prevent it from reproducing.
In the experiments, it was observed that the mask could kill more than 90 percent of the Kovid-19 and flu viruses for more than 7 hours, and had 99.98 percent filtering properties.
The scientist who designed the mask, Dr. Gareth Cave said, 'The mask has been proven to inactivate viruses on contact. Antiviral layer and filter layers destroy the virus. ' used the expressions. The mask is intended to be available for sale in December.
Secretory however, to wear a mask now mandatory in many countries, including Turkey. However, there is an important warning about masks.
Due to the coronavirus epidemic that continues worldwide, it is necessary to wear a mask in our country. However, there is an important detail about masks that many citizens do not know.
According to the news in Popular Science, N95 type masks, also called 'valve masks', have become a type of mask that is constantly recommended and desired to be used after the epidemic. However, these masks also bring a serious threat.
According to experts, these masks are definitely not developed specifically for the coronavirus epidemic; Therefore, protection against the virus does not protect people, but it can also cause the epidemic to spread. Okay but why?
N95-type masks filter about 95 percent of air particles, reducing the wearer's chances of exposure to the virus. However, the real problem begins with the user exhaling.
Since the valves on it exhale the user's breath without filtering, the possibility of spreading the virus increases. In other words, the fact that there is a one-way air flow on the filter basis does not work against coronavirus.
These types of masks are mainly useful in industrial environments where the user needs protection from the environment. However, when it comes to coronavirus, it also increases the risk of potentially infected people spreading microbes into the environment.
However, as people get closer to each other by relying on these masks, the threat increases. The solution is to use a simple surgical mask
