The way in which the virus is increasing rapidly in India, People in some regions (eg, India, Thailand, China, and Japan) are using makeshift alternatives or repeatedly using disposable surgical masks. Notably, improper use of face masks, such as not changing disposable masks, could jeopardize the protective effect and even increase the risk of infection. We have started using the mask as fast as we can, but the problem starts when we throw the mask after use.

Because if someone is using a mask that already has an infection, that infection can remain alive for several hours after throwing that mask, so whenever you throw your mask, Destroy it in such a way that no one comes in contact.

Non-medical masks, also called fiber masks which are comely used in community level, for prevention of spread of infection, decrease infection to other. Fiber masks are washable, are mainly made of cotton fabrics, but other biodegradable materials can be used like- natural filers, plastic substitute, rice husk, natural rubber, bamboo etc.

These include surgical masks, N95 masks, KN 95 masks and other similar medical masks. They are made of plastics, mainly polypropylene, which are non-biodegradable, and takes >100 years to degrade and therefore important source of environmental pollution.

Humans

Improper disposal of the used masks , can put first line workers, like cleaners, garbage collector etc. at risk of COVID-19, infections, along with other infections due to soiled or infected masks from the patients or asymptomatic infected persons. Droplets can linger on the masks for longer period of time and saliva related spread of tuberculosis, hepatitis etc. can occur. Although advisory to keep mask in paper bag for 3 days then to discard as a general house waste, are in place but still on paper, but they are hardly implemented. Moreover these advisory of mask disposal as a general waste cannot be practice for plastic masks, used by infected patients at home isolation, due they are not biodegradable and needs different method of their sorting, segregation, storage and disposable.

Animal life

An improperly disposed plastic masks, puts all aspects biological life’s in danger, directly or indirectly, earlier and remote effects as well. If plastic masks are improperly disposed of, then it can go to river, ponds, then untimely to ground water or ocean. Plastics changes to micro-particulate matter, then to Nano- particle and ultimately affects food chain, as they polymerizes on consumption into the plant life ( plants, fruits, vegetables from the ground waters), larger surface animals like cattle’s – consumes masks which are direct source of infection, intestinal obstruction, and malnutrition and food chain toxicity indirectly by incorporation into the tissues in animal flesh or meat, in marine life (polluted ocean due to masks, affects fish, turtles or other marine animals, can cause spread of infection directly, on consumption can cause intestinal obstruction, malnutrition due nonnutritive status of the masks, and toxic chemicals can be incorporated into the tissues over time, via indirect mechanisms.
