A face mask includes a space formed therein by a peripheral wall extending from the periphery of the space. At least one first path and at least one second path are respectively formed in the space so that outside air enters into the space via the at least one first pat, and air in the space is released from the space via the at least one second path. The face mask covers a large area of the wearer's face to reduce foreign objects from entering into the wear's body so as to reduce the chance of being infected.

A flow through photochemistry apparatus and methods of use are disclosed in the present application. One or more reactant materials are passed through a reaction chamber and are exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The reaction chamber has reflective walls arranged to reflect electromagnetic radiation across the volume of the chamber a plurality of times, thereby increasing the probability of the electromagnetic radiation interacting with the reactive materials. The reaction chamber may be used for sterilization and photochemistry applications.

The invention addresses the problem of air filtration and decontamination as required immediately for the COVID-19 pandemic but also will be useful in a variety of applications. Air (1) to the apparatus (100) enters and passes through an optional pre-filter (2) and through a one-way air “check” valve (3). The incoming air (1) then enters the counter-flow heat exchange path (4) and proceeds towards the heating chamber (6). As air enters the heating chamber (6), it immediately encounters heating elements (7). Upon encountering the heating chamber (6), the incoming air, which has been pre-heated by the exiting air, is heated to the desired temperature and exits via the return path (5). Upon completing the path through the exit path for the air, the air is now cooled to the desired exit temperature, for example within a few degrees of the incoming air, and is at a temperature suitable to exit (11) and be delivered to a user. This air may not have the virus removed from it, but the virus will be rendered harmless at this point. The invention is applicable in other contexts. For example, the operation of these systems can generally be reversed to decontaminate air including air exhaled by a user. This may be used in conjunction with a mask worn by a patient or an isolation chamber at least partially enclosing a patient, e.g., a patient room(s) or a tent erected over a patient gurney or bed.
