Title:
Allergy Minimizing Mask
Abstract:
Seasonal allergies are a common annoyance for people all around the world. Our Allergy Minimizing Mask is a filtration mask that will protect the user from outdoor allergens and pollen while preventing the recycling of air within the mask. The mask will also be clear so that the user's face can be visible. The mask will achieve efficient filtration with the use of HEPA filters placed in the air purifying respirator, which will be attached to the mask with the use of Teflon tubes and is capable of filtering particulate matter and airborne allergens. This combination of HEPA filters and the air respirator will provide fresh incoming air for inhalation, while the mask's exhalation system effectively removes the exhaled air from the mask preventing re-inhalation of carbon dioxide.
