(a) Community-wide mask wearing may contribute to the control of Covid-19 by reducing the amount of emission of infected saliva and respiratory droplets from persons with subclinical or mild Covid-19. However, of concern is the manner in which they are disposed of and becoming a threat to the environment. Depending on the material, these masks could last years, even decades, in the environment due to the fact that they are not biodegradable. As a khalifah, you decided to design the facemask that can minimise the pollution. In order to do that, you have to: (i) Determine the properties of materials required to suit the purpose in Q1 (a).
