It may be available in individual or collective packaging (through dispensers or similar) and is ideally available in all environments as a safety feature, as it can be quickly reached and used whenever necessary.

Disadvantages observed in current models:

5. In cases of fire and explosion, smoke and toxic gases tend to occupy the upper part of the environment. Such gases cause the person to faint quickly and may cause damage or collapse to the respiratory tract. Statistics point out that. More than 80% of fire deaths are due to asphyxiation. When inhaled, the monoxide of Carbon reaches the lungs and then the bloodstream, causing loss of sensation in a matter of seconds, and then leading to death.

6. Currently the fire department's technical instructions advise that in the event of fire and smoke, the person should stay close to the ground and crawling should try to withdraw from the environment, always crouching and close to the floor, and indicate the use a wet handkerchief or towel over the nose and mouth, serving as a filter to prevent inhalation of dust, fumes and toxic gases. But in emergencies, unexpected risk situations, and accidents, people end up despairing and running away, trying to get out of the environment as quickly as possible, leaving one hand busy covering their nose and mouth.

7. At the moment of escape, having both hands available is essential to: keep your body close to the ground for crouching or crawling; to make way; help someone; hit something to get attention; to lean on somewhere, etc.

8. The fact is that in accidents and real situations, the despair and lack of proper material has already led to death and has damaged many people's health. At the time of the escape, where to find a towel? Where to find available water? Spend precious seconds searching for wet tissue to protect your breath or looking for the safest way out?

9. Fire, explosion and fire and smoke accidents are unfortunately common and likely to occur in any environment, so safety items should always be in place. available for unexpected occasions. For example, the use of the fire extinguisher, which today is mandatory in many places, but its effective use is unknown to many.
