A new kind of activated carbon used in protective antiviral face masks has been developed at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Organic Chemistry.
The activated carbon will be obtained from apricot pits, a waste product in production. It has been established that this carbon is highly absorptive of bacteria as well as viruses in cleaning severe wounds.
