Environmentally-friendly masks that ‘destroy’ viruses being developed at Łódż University of Technology
Biodegradable masks with anti-viral filters that can destroy viruses are being developed by scientists at the Łódż University of Technology. The new masks will still have the same barrier properties as the currently used disposable masks for protection against aerosols, but will also have a multi-layer structure with chemical compounds that will destroy viruses that stick to them. Containing a filter made by blowing a molten polymer, scientists can obtain a suitable filter...
