Chronic exposure to increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air has been linked to heightened risk of stillbirths, testicular dysfunction, and cognitive decline in children in the existing peer-reviewed literature, with a new research review warning of possible toxicity associated with recent mandated use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A review article published in the peer-reviewed open access journal Heliyon last month reported possible harm from “imposing extended mask mandates” due to prolonged exposure to elevated levels of CO2.
German researchers reported that an analysis of 43 studies on chronic CO2 exposure or face coverings suggested that masks actually increase the chance of mild CO2 poisoning when worn over extended periods of time….
