The main innovation will be a comfortable non marking face mask that is a cost-effective solution by offering a quick and easy replaceable filter to reduce costs to the consumer and reduce recycling needs -- thereby protecting the environment.

The full-face mask will be totally transparent visor to give perfect visibility without condensation. Viruses can be contracted through facial mucous membranes making eye protection a crucial part of transmission prevention especially for health care workers. This solution will also be available for the public.

The full mask and half mask will both incorporate a quick &amp;quot;Plug&amp;amp;Play&amp;quot; solution for the filter replacement. The filter will provide superior protection to block virus particles down to 1 nanometre in size.

Additionally, the half mask which is integrated in both solutions will be of a soft material that molds to the facial contours to offer enhanced comfort and sealing.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
