Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. While researchers are working on vaccine development and elucidating the mechanism of action and evolution of the harmful SARS-CoV-2, the current most important public health measure, second only to social distancing, is the obligatory wearing of facial protection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in April 2020 that the public wear face coverings in areas with high rates of transmission based on epidemiological evidence on the strong relationship between mask wearing and pandemic control. This protection against SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens, boost the design and production of innovative solutions by industry stakeholders. Nanoparticles, nanofibers, and other pioneering technologies based on nanomaterials have been introduced in mask production chains to improve performance and confer antiviral properties. During an emergency like COVID-19, these products directly available to the public should be carefully analyzed in terms of efficacy and possible long-term effects on the wearers’ skin and lungs as well as on the environment. This opinion paper provides a wealth of information on the role of nanotechnologies in improving the performance of facial masks and on possible future consequences caused by a poorly regulated use of nanotechnology in textiles.

面罩和纳米技术：保持蓝色面朝上

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 是 21 世纪面临的最大挑战之一。在研究人员致力于疫苗开发并阐明有害的 SARS-CoV-2 的作用机制和进化的同时，目前最重要的公共卫生措施，仅次于社会疏远，是强制佩戴面部保护措施。2020 年 4 月，美国疾病控制与预防中心建议公众根据戴口罩与大流行控制之间密切相关的流行病学证据，在高传播率地区佩戴面罩。这种针对 SARS-CoV-2 和其他空气传播病原体的保护，促进了行业利益相关者创新解决方案的设计和生产。纳米粒子、纳米纤维、以及其他基于纳米材料的开创性技术已被引入口罩生产链，以提高性能并赋予抗病毒特性。在像 COVID-19 这样的紧急情况下，应仔细分析这些直接向公众提供的产品的功效以及对佩戴者的皮肤和肺部以及环境可能产生的长期影响。这份意见书提供了大量关于纳米技术在改善面膜性能方面的作用的信息，以及纳米技术在纺织品中使用监管不力可能导致的未来后果。应仔细分析这些直接向公众提供的产品的功效以及对佩戴者的皮肤和肺部以及环境可能产生的长期影响。这份意见书提供了大量关于纳米技术在改善面膜性能方面的作用的信息，以及纳米技术在纺织品中使用监管不力可能导致的未来后果。应仔细分析这些直接向公众提供的产品的功效以及对佩戴者的皮肤和肺部以及环境可能产生的长期影响。这份意见书提供了大量关于纳米技术在改善面膜性能方面的作用的信息，以及纳米技术在纺织品中使用监管不力可能导致的未来后果。
