"Killer" mask, able not only to block the virus entering, but also to "kill it". The device in question, as Repubblica writes, consists of four layers and comes from England. It was created by Professor Gareth Cave, an expert in nanotechnology at Nottingham trent University. This mask guarantees effectiveness for 7 consecutive hours. It is very similar to traditional surgeries but unlike the latter it has the ability to neutralize the Coronavirus and make it harmless. According to the tests conducted, the “killer” mask has a filtering capacity of 99.98% and an efficiency of 90% in destroying Covid-19 and influenza viruses.
The same scientist who created the "killer" mask explained, as Repubblica reports, the operation of this special device: "When these nanoparticles that make up the central layer are in contact with the virus, they emit ions that penetrate through the surface and they envelop the virus by destroying its genetic material and preventing it from replicating ». These particles, he added, "have a spherical shape and a surface as large as that of the virus and for this reason they are therefore very efficient in killing the unwanted host, but not in reducing the respirability of the mask". Then there is a last layer which is the one closest to the mouth, which is hypoallergenic and extremely breathable. «Our mask protects not only the wearer but also those around. Because it prevents the virus from reproducing, killing it. Therefore, when we throw it away, we must not be afraid to touch it and we can dispose of it in complete safety because it is not infected ", finally specified its inventor.
