[{"type":"text","content":"\n Parkersburg, Feb. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. (OTC: KNOS), revenue-generating product development and production company that has significantly changed the way indoor air is filtered and disinfected, announces test results from Nelson Labs demonstrating significantly enhanced bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) and viral filtration efficiency (VFE). As the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, the use of facemasks has become commonplace, if not endemic. The performance of medical facemasks is assessed using Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) tests and Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE) tests. Kronos' designed and the U.S. manufactured 5-ply graphene face masks remove 99.9% of bacteria and virus particles compared to the common and far less efficacious ASTM level 3 mask. (ASTM Level 3 is the FDA's highest rating for medical and surgical face masks). The Kronos face mask is the only 5-ply graphene mask known to be manufactured in the USA. With BFE and VFE levels over 99.9%, the Company believes that these are the highest filtration efficiency numbers for any face masks in the market. All test method acceptance criteria were met. Testing was performed in compliance with US FDA good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations 21 CFR Parts 210, 211, and 820. While the 2019 pandemic appears to be degrading into endemic status, mask-wearing has likely become a permanent way of life for many and will likely continue into common, if not mandatory, use by the food industry, adding to the common use pre-pandemic of doctors, nurses, and hospital workers. Furthermore, the world will likely stock up on the best masks in order to be ready for a new covid-19 strain or unrelated pandemic feared to emerge in the near future. In a recent MAYO CLINIC article, entitled, How well do face masks protect against COVID-19? \"Get answers to your questions about face masks, including how to use them properly,\" it stated: \"Can face masks help slow the spread of the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Yes. Face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing, and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.\" The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends masks for the general public.
