The mask is called ALEU\u00a0<\/strong>in honour of Dr Dolors Aleu i Riera, the first woman licensed to practice medicine in Spain, and is currently being tested by the AITEX laboratory for approval under the UNE-EN 1827 standard.<\/p>\n

Guillem Quintana, Director of Eurecat\u2019s Industrial Business Development and manager of Eurecat Girona, points out that \u201canother added value is that the ALEU mask\u2019s production chain is local due to the companies from various industries which have teamed up selflessly in its development and production to meet this social need outside their business field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been in contact with countries in Latin America, Africa and Europe to make this mask available to them during the pandemic,\u201d adds Agust\u00ed Chico, Director of Eurecat\u2019s Multidisciplinary Laboratories. \u201cIt is already being used in Chile as part of an ALEU offshoot project called\u00a0FreeBreath<\/a><\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
