Description

An increasing number of people in London are now investing in surgical-style face masks worn for years by commuters in Asian cities such as Beijing. Commenting on the effectiveness of the masks, Dr Benjamin Barratt, Environmental Research Group, said: ‘To be effective, a mask must be very well fitting otherwise the gases and tiny particles that make up air pollution will just flow around the mask when you breathe in.’
