Face masks have become a part of our lives amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and while their presence is crucial for stopping the spread, they do come with certain drawbacks.
One such drawback is that the fact that they are not easy to dispose of since they trap pathogens instead of destroying them. A used-mask tossed into an open waste bin can be a new source of contamination, which is why researchers in Forró’s lab are working on a better material.
