Why is face mask important?

A few years ago, it could not have been imagined that face masks would be one of the best-selling items in the world in early 2020. Since the Coronavirus pandemic outbreak in Wuhan- China and spread worldwide causing many severe consequences for people's lives and economy, face masks have become a daily necessity for all people in all countries in the world. But have you ever wondered what the definition of facemask is and why it becomes vital like that.

Mask( face mask) is a covering piece of clothing for the mouth and nose to reduce the risk of infectious diseases, dust, and bacteria. Mask can also be understood as a barrier between the mouth and nose used to protect these parts from the effects of the surrounding environment. The face mask is tiny, convenient but safe and portable, and is an inevitable item today.

How has the evolution of face mask been?

In Ancient time

The earliest face mask appeared in the 6th century BC, the evidence was found on the doors of Persian tombs which shows some images of people wearing cloth over their mouths.

In China, people believe that the earliest face mask comes from the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) which looks like a kind of scarf woven with silk and gold threads worn by servants serving the emperor during meals.

In the 14th century, the Black Death, a pandemic that ravaged Europe between 1347 and 1351 facilitated the emergence of functional face mask-like objects.

Modern exploration

The 19th century witnessed a dramatic change of the mask’s evolution when Robert Brown, a Scottish scientist, discovered "Brownian motion," which theoretically proved the protective effect of masks on dust. 

An important milestone in the history of facemasks took place in 1848 when American Lewis Hassley made masks for miners.

However, it was not until 1861 that people paid attention to the design of modern masks due to the presence of bacteria in the air proved by French biologist, microbiologist, and chemist Louis Pasteur.

New design

Due to several outbreaks of infectious diseases and flu as well as the rise of smog from modern industry, the importance of facemask has been improved. Typically, the SARS epidemic in 2003 and the last large-scale use of masks in China due to smog in 2012 are examples.

In fact, masks are highly complimented by experts in different countries because they are simple to manufacture, have a low production cost and the materials are easy to obtain.
