Spread of articles against mandatory masks … “Induce disease by reducing oxygen content”
At the end of last year, the investigation on the impact of the KF mask on health commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment
Researchers from the National Cancer Center, etc. “There is no relationship between the amount of cancer and oxygen”
The reason people wear masks at the expense of discomfort is to prevent the spread of Corona 19.
Yet today when triple digits are confirmed every day, articles are spreading that masks are quite harmful to health.
Reporter Han Dong-oh questioned whether that is the correct argument.
[기자]“The ‘mandatory mask’ is a policy that makes all people sick.”
This article is spreading online.
It is argued that wearing a mask for a long time can lead to ‘hypoxia’ and harm to health.
It also contained information that you could even get cancer.
▲ Lack of oxygen when wearing a mask?
Last December, the Sungkyunkwan University Foundation for Academic-Industry Cooperation commissioned the Ministry of the Environment to study how wearing a KF mask affects health.
I observed how much my oxygen intake decreased when I put on the mask, and although both adults and children breathed less oxygen, it was not enough to affect breathing.
It means that there were no specific health problems.
The researchers explain that increasing the time you wear the mask will not significantly change the study results.
[환경부 용역 연구 책임 교수 : 마스크를 쓴 상태에서 호흡하는 법을 조금씩 터득하는 것 같아요, 우리 신체가 자발적으로. 그런 측면이 있어서 시간이 지날수록 호흡량이나 아니면 심장박동 수 이런 것들이 좋아지는 측면이….]The American Thoracic and Cardiovascular Society, the Association of Thoracic Surgeons, the Lung Association, and the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Foundation also announced in July that wearing a health mask does not significantly reduce oxygen intake.
He also highlighted that there is no clinical evidence that the mask is harmful to health, and that it is necessary to use a mask to prevent the spread of Corona 19.
▲ Can you get cancer?
The claim that wearing a mask can lead to cancer due to lack of oxygen is far from true.
According to a recently published article by researchers at the National Cancer Center, cancer and the amount of oxygen in the body are not related.
[김수열 / 국립암센터 연구원 : 저산소증하고 암세포하고는 현상적으로는 연관이 있어 보이는 거 같지만, 사실은 암세포가 성장을 하려면 산소를 더 많이 (필요로 합니다.)]Even if, as some experts say, the amount of oxygen contributes to the development of cancer, the amount of oxygen deprived by wearing a mask is not enough to cause cancer.
Just because you have to wear a mask does not mean that you should wear a mask outside the home.
Local governments in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon that are required to wear masks allow them to remove the masks in well-ventilated areas when there is no possibility of contact with other people.
