Many people have complained of breathing problems due to wearing masks during the fight against the epidemic Coronavirus. Keeping this in mind, researchers of the Lovely Professional University of Punjab have developed the first of its kind, the multipurpose algae-based respirator 'Oxigeno'. This not only neutralizes 99.3% of the harmful gases and particulate matter present in the air, but also increases the amount of oxygen passing through it.

According to researchers on this matter, algae have been used in respirators, because the microbes (microorganisms) present in it remove light carbon dioxide and other air pollutants by modulating light and make oxygen. The air passing through it becomes more breathable. This four-layer respirator can bring immediate relief especially to the employees working on the frontline, or frontline, who have trouble breathing due to wearing masks for a long time.

The research team that carried out the project includes Deepak Deb, Anant Kumar Rajput and Manish Kotni and Professor Dr. Justin Samyul, B.Tech students of the university. According to Deepak, existing N-95 or surgical masks filter out pollutants or microbes, but these pollutants do not filter gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and sulfur dioxide, carbonamonoxide, VOC and odor from disinfectants and cleansers. Similar masks are used in hospital wards.
