(6 years ago)Researchers at the University of California, Davis, in the United States, have created a new mask on a cloth - based face that can destroy up to 99.99 percent of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens within an hour of exposure to daylight.

Researchers pointed out that this mask can be washed 10 times and can be repeatedly exposed to sunlight for at least seven days. This will not exacerbate her antibody activity.
Furthermore, researchers claimed that people could disinfect the mask of clothing at lunchtime in the sun or spend longer under office lights that are far less intense than sunlight.
The research team found that the photosensiblier killed 99,99 percent of the bacteria in the tissue within an hour of exposure to the light of the day and deactivated 99,9999 percent of the T7 Bactterophagus a virus thought to be more resistant to the ROS than some coronary é within half an hour.
The fabric offers promising results in the production of reusable, antibacterial or antivirus facial masks and protective suits, said researchers, reports Business Line.
