Abstract
The aim of this research is to introduce a novel mask which can provide efficient protection against the toxic N2O gas and 131Iodine encountered in the operating room and nuclear medicine hotlabs. The mask is designed in four layers to trap the toxic gases and prevent the inhalation of toxic agents. The preliminary data indicate a 75% protection against 131Iodine evaporates and a 70% protection against N2O gas. This mask shows promising results and can be used as a protective measurement for the health care providers in the developing countries.
