Clean Air Store, an e-commerce portal, today announced the launch of RespoKare, a reusable and anti-pollution mask. They claim that this is the only mask in the market that protects the wearer from both PM 2.5 particles and toxic gases like NO2. The RespoKare mask also features a proprietary Pollution Indicator that indicates the level of NO2 gas that the wearer has been exposed to.

The RespoKare Anti-Pollution Mask is the first personal protection product with the capability to neutralize hazardous oxidizing gases in the air. Designed with built-in N98 and activated carbon filter, the mask comes with a 5-stage filtration mechanism which allows the wearer to breathe cleaner air, while the two Filtration layers filter 98% PM2.5 particulates, its Active Respo Layer neutralizes > 90% toxic gases such as Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2). The Unique design of "NO2 Indicator System" allows easy identification of the level of NO2 in air pollution, and also a mean to indicate the longevity of the mask when in contact with air pollutants. The proprietary pollution indicator changes colour gradually from natural off-white to dark brown depending on varying levels of exposure to toxic gases like NO2 and SO2. This allows the wearer to replace their mask based on the colour change. Read here Air pollution can ruin your child's health for life
