ABSTRACT:
A facial mask eliminates odors from the exhalation of a wearer while permitting detection by the wearer of odors a the surrounding environment. In the preferred embodiment, the invention takes the form of an air permeable facial covering disposed over the mouth and nose of the wearer, including elements for absorbing exhalation odors impregnated therein. At least one single direction inlet valve is disposed in the air permeable facial covering thereby providing an incoming air passageway through which ambient air may pass without passing through the means for absorbing exhalation odors. Elements for securing the perimeter of the air permeable facial covering to the wearer, such as an elastic band, is provided so that the exhalation of the wearer must pass through the elements for absorbing exhalation odors and may not escape around the perimeter of the air permeable facial covering.
