Although, significant increase in CO2 concentrations are noted with routinely used face-masks, the levels still remain within the NIOSH limits for short-term use. Therefore, there should not be a concern in their regular day-to-day use for healthcare providers. The clinical implications of elevated CO2 levels with long-term use of face masks needs further studies.
Many pro-maskers wear the diaper on their face for longer than 15 minutes at a time. I choose not to participate in this experiment. Feel free to be the guinea pig.
Regarding cell phones - you're absolutely right. I've always been conscious of SAR ratings, etc. However, it's also my personal choice what I do with that cell phone. I know the risks, and make decisions accordingly. The same can be said for just about anything mainstream - it's all harmful in some way shape or form. Dies, added scents, etc. Do your own research and make your own decisions on how you want to live your life. Don't tell me how to live mine.
Oh, and by the way, the CO2 levels talking point doesn't even touch on the psychological & emotional damage done to society by mask mandates and COVID "protocols", especially our youth. Suicide rates are up, speech issues, social development issues, etc.

Actually, the hypocrisy lies completely with you. You probably didn't read the whole paper. You cite quotes from an abstract and you don't even understand the meaning behind what you are quoting. Because "further studies are needed" doesn't mean that the effects are harmful. Standards are set in industry below what is envisioned to be the harmful level, and if there is uncertainly in risk estimates, levels are set even lower. But...there you go, taking a "sky is falling" approach to rationalize your choice. That's fine. There's no public mask mandate so do what you want and without regard to other people. And keep using terms like "face diaper" in an attempt to belittle those that wear masks. You could save the extra letters when you type, and call them masks; that's what they are. And if you're going to pretend that you've done your own research, then at least admit that you didn't read the whole paper and that you have no evidence that the CO2 levels are harmful. There would appear to be much more prima facie evidence from the thousands of professionals that wear masks (and the millions that have worn them in the past for their jobs) that indicate that those levels are not harmful.
