Wearing a mask for prolonged periods may cause stillbirths, poor cognitive development in children, and reduced fertility in adolescents, a German study found.
“There is experimental evidence for a possible negative impact risk on the mental and reproductive health of children, adolescents and early life (unborn) due to chronic carbon dioxide re-breathing since the introduction of mask mandates,” the researchers wrote in a study published in the journal Heliyon.
Wearing a mask for a prolonged period, as 4.5 billion people worldwide were required to do during the Covid-19 pandemic, increases the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the wearer’s bloodstream because he is rebreathing exhaled air. While N95 masks cause the greatest increase, “all mask types … can be responsible for a significant and comparable rise in the blood content of CO2,” penned the scientists.
