LG has developed this wearable air purifier to offer a better and safe alternate to inconsistent homemade masks. Also, it is designed to address the issue of shortage of disposable masks as well. However, the main objective of these portable air purifier face masks is to provide clean and fresh air both inside and outdoors. The device comes with two battery-powered fans and a respiratory sensor. It is packed with two H13 HEPA filters that provide clean and filtered air to the user. On the other hand, the respiratory sensor keeps adjusting the fans speed by detecting the volume of user’s breath. The fan speeds up while you are inhaling and slows down during exhalation.
