air filters in cloth masks?
hi all! I am tetraplegic and drive my wheelchair with my chin. the medical grade facemasks I've tried over the last few years make it impossible to do this while wearing them properly. I have 2 cloth masks that can be worn while driving, but I know they don't offer much protection, so I'm here to ask
- if detachable air filters even exist?
- whether they can be installed in a cloth mask

Hmm, difficult question. I think in the end the most important part for your own safety is a tight fit of the mask, and that is hard to do with cloth masks in general.
Detachable filters usually require a more full rubber face piece with large straps to hold it in place. Such a mask could maybe be modified to have some chin nub or so that fits well to your wheelchair control, but I am somewhat doubtful that will be comfortable.
it's worth looking into regardless! thank you
