In April 2009, an outbreak of new influenza (type A; H1N1) happened in Mexico, and more than 4100 people died on October in the world, including 50 in Japan. Hence, in the prevailing period, face masks were not enough in the absolute quantity because of too much demand, while skin disturbance frequently occurred due to use in summer. This paper has reported the excellent performances of new face mask, being marketed under the brand name of “Aller-catcher@" from Daiwabo Neu Co.,Ltd. This novel mask is a 4 layered spunlace nonwoven fabric composed of rayon fibers stained with iron phthalocyanine.
