Among the various side effects of breathing with masks, the
study highlights hypoxemia and hypercapnia.
"Under normal conditions at sea level, the air contains
20.93% O2 and 0.03% CO2," he explains. “These gas concentrations are
significantly altered when respiration occurs through a face mask. The trapped
air that remains between the mouth, the nose and the mask is repeatedly
breathed in and out of the body, containing low concentrations of O2 and high
concentrations of CO2, which causes hypoxemia and hypercapnia ”.
Both phenomena cause cardiopulmonary as well as neurological
complications, according to the analysis.
Other physiological effects of daily and prolonged use of
masks include shortness of breath, increased lactate concentration, decreased
pH levels, acidosis, toxicity, inflammation, self-contamination, increased
level of stress hormones (adrenaline , norepinephrine and cortisol), increased
muscle tension and immunosuppression.
