In order to avoid removing the mask due to suffocation when watching sports, an experiment was conducted in Kawasaki City to investigate the performance of a new mask that can suppress flying while increasing breathability.
According to a survey conducted in a soccer J-League match in April, the spectator's mask wearing rate was 94%, but if the heat gets into full swing in the future, he will get suffocated and wear a mask. There are concerns that some people may remove it.
Under these circumstances, major daily necessities manufacturers and Professor Tomoaki Okuda of Keio University are developing masks that can suppress flying and ensure high breathability, and on the 17th, an experiment to investigate performance using prototypes. Was held in Kawasaki City.
Currently, it is forbidden to cheer aloud in the J.League, but when you shout "Shoot! I did it! Nippon!" I compared the flying condition of the pine with the video.
As a result, it was found that the urethane mask also suppressed small particles that leaked slightly.
Furthermore, the mask under development has a space in front of the mouth than the usual one, and by devising the filter part, it is more breathable than the non-woven fabric and it is easier to breathe.
A student who participated in the experiment and wore a mask said, "The material is soft and does not stick to the skin, and I felt that air was passing through. I thought it would be good for the coming season."
Professor Okuda said, "Until now, it was difficult to achieve both ease of breathing and suppression of flying, but this mask may be able to achieve these two at a high level." It was.
On June 20th, we will ask the management staff to wear masks for the home game of J1 Kashima Antlers, which is cooperating in the development, and aim to put it into practical use based on their impressions.
