Long-term exposure to carbon dioxide can lead to brain damage, increased anxiety, and memory impairment

A group of German scientists revealed that wearing masks, which has become mandatory during the COVID-19 pandemic in most parts of the world, increases carbon dioxide inhalation and harms health to the point of stillbirth, and may increase the risk of stillbirth, testicular dysfunction and cognitive deterioration in children. “.
A review of dozens of studies on face masks found that they can cause mild carbon dioxide poisoning when worn for extended periods.
The German scientists who conducted the study believe that the masks create a pocket of “dead space” between the mouth and the mask that traps the toxic gas.
The study, published in the scientific journal Heliyon, indicates that the accumulation of carbon dioxide in a pregnant woman’s body can cause complications for the unborn fetus. Carbon dioxide also contributes to oxidative stress, which can affect cognition and cause testicular problems in men.
One study these scientists analyzed showed that as little as 0.3 percent of long-term exposure to carbon dioxide in pregnant rats and young mice led to brain damage, increased anxiety, and memory impairment.
In another study, male rats were exposed to 2.5% carbon dioxide for four hours, which is equivalent to 0.5% in humans, and this led to the destruction of testicular cells and sperm. A third study showed that 3% carbon dioxide (equivalent to 0.8% in humans) caused stillbirths and birth defects.
However, independent experts questioned the results of the study, which did not directly look at health complications and the use of masks, and described the aforementioned relationship as unlikely.
