The European Environment Agency has noted a drastic increase in pollution due to mask use caused by the pandemic.

They estimate 170 000 tonnes of face masks were brought into the EU, not including masks for medical use. Masks for medical use are usually disposed of correctly through incineration, but the public simply throws single-use masks in the bin.

Let’s look into some of the benefits of goBU wearable humidifiers and how they can drastically increase your way of life.

Unfortunately, millions of masks are making their way into the environment, causing widespread microplastic pollution. Many people turned to cloth face masks as an alternative, but these are far less effective at protecting you against viruses and bacteria.

Researchers at the Amsterdam University of Medicine recently found microplastics in human blood for the first time. They concluded that 77% of study participants had microplastics present at 1.6 micrograms in every millilitre of blood. Experts are voicing their concern as they aren’t sure of the health implications microplastics pose to our health.

Benefits that will change your life

The goBU wearable humidifiers features a H100 filter which gives you superior protection by filtering the air you breathe of 99% of viruses and bacteria. In addition, you get the incredible benefits of humidification.

Humidification has long been used in the medical world post-operatively to support the healing process of the upper respiratory tract. Our H100 filter filters viruses and bacteria and ensures that the air within the wearable humidifier is humified and kept warm. It does this by trapping the heat and moisture from inhaled air and diapering it into inhaled air.

How can humidification help you?

The respiratory tract contains tiny hairs called micro cilia that sweep away foreign particles like viruses, bacteria, pathogens and allergens. This system works well when moist and in a warm environment, but it can’t remove particles effectively when it becomes cold and dry, leaving you susceptible to infection.

How can it relieve you of sinusitis?

28.9 million people in the US alone suffer from sinusitis, and this is often due to cold and dry air interrupting your respiratory mucous clearance system. Keeping airways moist through humidification protects you from infection, reduces discomfort, eases inflammation and alleviates sinus headaches.

The Benefits of goBU Wearable Humidifiers As A Smoker

Smoking damages the mucociliary function meaning smokers struggle to clear mucous from the respiratory tract, causing coughing. Smoke dries out and irritates the respiratory tract, so humidification can assist in reviving the mucociliary function by warming and moistening inhaled air.

Protects you from asthma

Cold air causes inflammation and swelling in the respiratory tract leading to asthma attacks. The body then produces extra mucous, leading to breathing difficulties and excessive coughing. Wearing a goBU wearable humidifier will humidify the air you breathe, reducing your risk of asthma attacks.
