2020-06-22· The Truth About Trapped Carbon Dioxide. June 22, 2020. COVID-19 can kill. Now, according to a misguided Internet-fueled theory, masks can kill, too. All it takes is a mask-wearer who inhales freshly exhaled carbon dioxide repeatedly until dizzy, unconscious or dead. That, no doubt, would be a shocking development. In the real world, the average mask user without preexisting …
The most effective way to manage the risk of exposure to carbon dioxide is to eliminate the source of exposure. If that's not possible, there are other risk controls to use. When choosing risk controls, start by asking yourself the questions in the following steps, listed in order of effectiveness. See our resources for more information.
