The greenscreen activated carbon filter has been tested by three independent facilities in order to verify it’s efficiency in filtering air-borne pollutants and contaminants. The studies were conducted in the United States, England and Mexico. In all cases the results proved without a doubt that the usage of greenscreen Air Filtering Masks dramatically improves the quality of air you breathe while wearing a greenscreen.
MNR tested the greenscreen activated carbon filter for effective filtering of both BENZENE and SULFUR DIOXIDE. Both of these substances are commonly found in automobile exhaust and are present in every busy urban area. The MNR testers concluded that: "We are satisfied that the greenscreen activated carbon filter significantly reduces these air-borne pollutants."
INAINE conducted extensive tests of the greenscreen activated carbon air filter masks against the harmful pollutants found in the air in Mexico City. Mexico City is widely known for its hazardous air pollution.
INAINE found that the greenscreen activated carbon air filter reduced the following harmful contaminants as shown in this table:
Carbon Monoxide 50% Lead 75% Ozone 84% Total Oxidants 65% Odors 90% Particulate (pollen, etc.) 95%
Additionally, INAINE concluded that:
"According to the results obtained, the greenscreen mask provides a reduction of at least 50% of contaminants found in the air we breathe. It’s use in an atmosphere existing presently in Mexico City, it would provide an important an important protection for the inhabitants' health."
The British Health Institute conducted a study of the greenscreen Air Filter Masks focusing on what is called inward leakage. Inward leakage is the amount of air that is breathed while wearing an air filtering masks which does not pass through the air filter and is thus breathed as if no mask was worn. This is a very important figure and the overall effectiveness of any air filter mask is directly related to the amount of inward leakage the mask allows.
The British Health Institute applied their standard inward leakage test that is used for industrial air filtering masks such as those used by fire fighters, chemical workers, etc. They conducted a full barrage of tests and concluded: "The greenscreen RAP and greenscreen NEO approach the EN149 FFP1 requirement of not more than 25% leakage for individual tests and not more than 22% for the mean for each subject." What this means in lay terms is that the test results prove that at least 75% of all air breathed through the RAP and the NEO is filtered through the greenscreen activated carbon filter.
