             🔻Filtering masks do not protect against the COVID-19 virus.
              The best available filtering face masks, i.e., KN95, are designed to filter particles sized over 0.3 microns when the COVID-19 virus particles are 0.05 to 0.15 microns. (Link)
          The Covid19UVmask uses UVGI, damaging viral RNA regardless of the virus size, making inhaled viruses non-infectious.

​        🔻The actual filtering mask's efficiency is 20% less than stated because it refers to the filter's efficiency but not the mask itself.
                 Inhaling, the filter resistance causes a significant pressure drop, resulting in an influx of 20% of contaminated air through the mask/face leaks, so the filter mask effectiveness does not exceed 80%.
              The Covid19UVmask has no filters that cause an influx of unfiltered air, so the mask is 20% more effective than any filtering mask.
 
            🔻The regular use of filtering masks causes headaches and hypoxia.
            Stanford's  study  found  that  filters  that  make it harder to breathe reduce users' oxygen intake by up to 20%, resulting in headaches from hypoxia. (Link)
              The Covid19UVmask  has  no  filters  that  limit  oxygen  consumption,  making it suitable for whole-day use as well as for people with breathing problems and the elderly.
