Abstract

A powered air filtration mask is a protective face covering device with an integrated filtration and air-handling mechanism that enables active sterilization of both incoming and outgoing volume of air. Aside from the obvious benefits of active sterilization, the constant recirculation of air reduces heat and moisture accumulation for the user. This can improve adherence to rules for proper use of the mask, and thereby increase the overall efficacy of the mask as a tool to reduce pathogenic spread. Further, the device includes a control device that enables the user to easily manipulate and control the electrical components of the present invention. Furthermore, a plurality of illuminators integrated on the device enables the present invention to be used in various outdoor and indoor conditions. Thus, the device is an efficient, multi-functional, comfortable, and user-friendly air filtration mask, that can protect a wearer against airborne pathogens or respiratory hazards.
