Face Masks Proven to Increase Viral Spread
Face Masks a Proven Health Hazard
Face Masks Increase Ocean and Environmental Pollution
MASKS OFF!
Estimated 1.56 billion face masks will have entered oceans in 2020
Our oceans will be flooded with an estimated 1.56 billion face masks in 2020 says a report released today by Hong-Kong-based marine conservation organization OceansAsia. This will result in an additional 4,680 to 6,240 metric tonnes of marine plastic pollution, says the report, entitled “Masks on the Beach: The Impact of COVID-19 on Marine Plastic Pollution.” These masks will take as long as 450 years to break down, slowly turning into micro plastics while negatively impacting marine wildlife and ecosystems.

- FACE MASK POLLUTION: Covid-19 face masks: A potential source of microplastic fibers in the environment WHO estimates, approximately 89 million medical masks were needed to respond to Covid-19 each month (WHO, 2020). This demand has resulted in an unprecedented rise in the global production of face masks which are produced using polymeric materials. Major players in face mask production have therefore scaled up their output. For instance, China increased its daily production of medical masks to 14.8 million as of February 2020 (Xinhua, 2020). Also, according to the Japanese Ministry of economy, trade, and industry (METI), over 600 million order of face masks per month was secured as of April 2020.
