Meanwhile, a team of reserchers have come up with a first of its kind face mask that not only protects a person from external pollutants and viruses such as COVID-19 but also from the respiratory odour and bacteria. According to reports, the team that designed the mask claimed that it is based on odourless technology which absorbs the particles producing the odour.

Usually, an abnoxious foul smell is felt by a person after prolonged use of a particular face mask which makes the person wearing masks uncomfortable. This odour often rises due to the presence of bacteria in our breath. These complaints drove the team to design a mask which can eliminate the issues of foul odour. The carbon particles which are used in the mask absorb in odorous particles, giving a fresh feel while wearing the mask. Carbon is harmful to the body but when charged and prepared, its property changes and becomes harmless to the body.
