Activated carbon masks effectively filters bacteria, virus, smog, smoke, fragrances and many other airborn contaminants within a filtering range of 50 - 0.5 microns and smaller.

Lara's masks are light-weight, soft, and comfortable to wear. You can breathe easily in this mask. All masks are non-irritating and latex-free.

Activated carbon masks are remarkable in their ability to filter odors and chemicals and other harmful pollutants at a microscopic level where cloth and other non-carbon filters are ineffective. The reason carbon filters are so effective is due to the large number of cavernous pores. These pores provide a large surface area relative to the actual size of the carbon particle. For the science-minded, an approximate ratio is 1 gram = 100 m2 of surface area.

Carbon filters are very safe to use. Carbon comes from common raw materials that include wood, sawdust, lignite, peat, coal, or coconut shells.

Because these materials are not expensive, the masks are sold at a very economical price.
