Just a curiosity question. We have a research group raising concerns that face coverings could inhibit one‰??s ability to smell, a sense they believe they really need to have in a laboratory setting. I‰??ve seen publications disputing concerns around carbon dioxide entrapment and heard plenty of practical comments about being able to smell cologne through the coverings, but I haven‰??t seen anything published on this topic. It sounds like a weak argument to me, but I don‰??t want to simply discount this concern without a good faith effort to find out if there‰??s any real evidence that this is a valid concern. Any thoughts/comments that you would care to share?
Thanks,
Kim
