Face masks have negligible negative effect on CO2 and O2 levels

A new study suggests that face masks have a negligible negative effect on the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen that a person breathes.

The findings even hold true for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The research, which appears in the journal Annals of the American Thoracic Society, contributes to dispelling some of the myths surrounding the use of face masks in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

As the world gains access to more information about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, scientists have become increasingly convinced that masks can help reduce its spread.

The primary way that SARS-CoV-2 transmits involves viral particles entering a person’s respiratory tract. This typically happens after another person coughs, sneezes, or speaks near them, producing droplets or aerosols that transport the virus.

Consequently, face masks play an important role in reducing exposure to the virus and limiting the amount

Oct. 2 (UPI) — Most major health organizations, including WHO and the CDC, insist that mask-wearing helps slow the spread of COVID-19, but some critics contend masks can cause carbon dioxide poisoning by trapping CO2.

However, new research, published Friday in the journal Annals of the American Thoracic Society, shows wearing a mask is very unlikely to cause carbon dioxide poisoning.

For the study, researchers measured changes in gas exchange — the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide — in both healthy individuals and veterans with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, before and after donning face masks.

Because people with COPD must work harder to breathe, they can sometimes experience shortness of breath and exhaustion.

The latest tests showed mask-wearing had little to no effect on gas exchange in both healthy individuals and those with COPD.

“We show that the effects are minimal at most even in people with very
