While we’re on the subject—

All of the micro fibers breathed in are forced deep into the lungs. Another thing to think about is how many people prewash the reusable masks? My guess is not too many. Most fabrics have all kinds of chemicals in them and need to be prewashed. Then you have to consider how you are going to wash them without getting even more chemical contaminants added to the fabric.

I saw a label on disposable masks once warning to not use them if you are allergic to whatever it was they were made out of. That is because absolutely every material used in a mask is going to shed particles.

Another thought is that masks from China could be loaded with nano particles.
