On his website, Dr. Joseph Mercola analyzes a study on children’s mask use published in the Journal of the American Medical Association for Pediatrics. He notes these findings (abridged):
- Researchers analyzed the CO2 content of inhaled air among children wearing two types of masks, as well as wearing no mask
- CO2 in inhaled air under surgical and filtering facepiece masks came in between 13,120 ppm and 13,910 ppm; the German Federal Environmental Office set a limit of CO2 for closed rooms of 2,000 ppm
- Younger children appeared to have the highest CO2 values; a level of 25,000 ppm was measured from a 7-year-old wearing a facemask
- The researchers believe the use of facemasks could lead to “impairments attributable to hypercapnia,” which is a buildup of CO2 in the blood
- Children wearing facemasks at school have reported symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, irritability, fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
