The anti-pollution, antiviral face mask that filters and purifies the air you breathe from dust, pathogens, and allergens (like pollen & leaf particulates) 100x smaller than a grain of flour. Inactivate 99.99% of all airborne pathogens with active UV-C lights.
@alvinhung UVMask’s uniquely designed internal parts with double air intakes and optimized sound engineering allow for effortless breathability and clear sound while speaking.
It's a great idea! I would def back it, but I have concerns about its safety.
It seems like the UV-C wavelength is 280–100 nm. I heard that at ~200 nm, it can break the oxygen bond so it can convert oxygen to ozone. How did you solve that?
and do you have to go through process like FDA approval or something similar?
Thank you! @boz_zou
@conanchou UV-C at 265nm (the wavelength we are using) does not render ozone, or ionize or make any other chemical changes to air.

Is this FDA approved? Are there other sources that can verify that your mask filters out as much as your company claims?

The fan is ineffective making no difference to air flow, and is soo loud that the mask is unusable. The money back guarantee is only being honoured in cases of provable financial hardship

Need them to make it fit variations in face sizes! I got a size small but the actual mask was too tall and narrow, getting the large rubber ring wouldn’t change that flaw. I couldn’t wear my glasses with these and couldn’t hear myself think over the two noisy fans that never turn off. Lots of air escaping from all edges as a result. Customer service seems sketchy so far.

@sarah_spivey you are lucky you even got a mask. I have waited over a year now and have yet to receive anything…

@boz_zou Great product concept, but it looks like the kickstarter link is landing on an error page, organic search works though
@langford_morrow Thanks for letting know, it's weird, on my side it works properly.

I tried so many masks, but still didn't find anything which I can wear more than 15 min. Pledged this last week, can't waiting to get mine. I really hope that it can be a solution for me.
