Subject: [DCHAS-L] Issues with face coverings
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=E2=80™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
