The face masks that people were forced to wear during the Covid pandemic do far more harm than good, a new study is warning.
The scoping-review study reveals that the masks expose wearers to toxic particles.
Led by Professor Kai Kisielinski, the study was conducted by a team of leading researchers in Germany.
In the Conclusion section, the researchers note:
Undoubtedly, mask mandates during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have been generating an additional source of potentially harmful exposition to toxins with health-threatening and carcinogenic properties at the population level with almost zero distance to the airways.
The study discovered high levels of microplastic and nanoplastic particles are released by the masks.
Specifically, the researchers found that those little plastic particles can be inhaled and should be considered toxic to wearers.
