LG Electronics unveils battery-powered air-purifying face mask to fight COVID-19
A South Korean company has invented a battery-powered filtered face mask designed to reduce annoying problems associated with conventional designs, such as breathing difficulties and fogged-up glasses.
LG Electronics' PuriCare Wearable, which comes in one size and weighs as much as a pair of ski goggles, features two fans and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that clean air coming in and exhaled breath going out.
As authorities increasingly urge the public use of face masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, manufacturers have turned their attention to making such gear more comfortable for users without compromising safety.
The mask comes with a case that charges the battery and disinfects the mask with ultraviolet (UV) light.
The device will be available in the fourth quarter in select markets. LG is yet to set a price.
LG said the mask has a battery life of about eight hours on low-power settings and two hours on its highest setting.
