I will briefly review these 4 recent studies on toxic compounds in masks:
Mar. 2022 – Bussan et al – Quantification of trace elements in surgical and KN95 face masks widely used during the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic
May 2022 – Ze Liu et al – Generation of environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) enhances ecotoxicological effects of the disposable face mask waste with the COVID-19 pandemic
April 2023 – Ana Oliveira et al – Current knowledge on the presence, biodegradation, and toxicity of discarded face masks in the environment
May 2023 – Hajoo Ryu et al – Measuring the quantity of harmful volatile organic compounds inhaled through masks
My Take…
There are many toxic compounds hiding in disposable face masks that can be categorized as:
- Heavy metals (mainly lead, antimony, copper), one study found 10 heavy metals
- organic chemicals – plasticizers, organic solvents, volatile organic compounds
- microplastics (polypropylene) and microfibers
- environmentally persistent free radicals
All of these leach out of the masks, with surgical masks leaching more heavy metals and chemicals when exposed to moisture and saliva, than N95 masks.
“Face masks have a three-dimensional porous structure in which the additives are dispersed but not bounded, which contributes to their release into the environment”
Some best selling children’s masks have high levels of heavy metals like lead.
Also, if children chew on their masks, they can have additional exposure to these heavy metals and various carcinogenic chemicals.
Several of the organic chemicals released by masks cause reproductive toxicity, neurological toxicity and are carcinogenic.
Microplastics and microfibers released by masks are also toxic to humans.
Quality control of disposable masks is lacking, with different masks from the same box containing different amounts of heavy metals, for example.
Personal comment: The level of contamination of surgical masks and N95 masks is much worse than I had suspected. It might be useful for people to print out these studies and send them to anyone thinking about implementing mask mandates again, advising them that they’re engaging in criminal conduct if they proceed.
That best selling children’s masks have high contamination with heavy metals like lead, actually does not surprise me at all. Our political and healthcare leaders have repeatedly shown a strong intent to harm children throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity
by Michel Chossudovsky
Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.
“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”
