idMASK is a social enterprise created in 2013, after the founder’s grandma had a heart attack from a peak of smog in Beijing. idMASKs are designed to create an airtight seal between the face and respirator, eliminating the leakage of polluted air. To maximize impact, a mask is donated to a child in need for every mask sold.
Since we couldn’t find an airtight mask, we completely redesigned the pollution mask to include an airtight seal between the face and respirator, eliminating the leakage of polluted air.
