INTELLIGENT GLASSES GENERATING AIR FLOWS AGAINST VIRUSES IN AEROSOLS

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention is comprised within personal protection devices, more specifically, goggles against infection by viruses in aerosols.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The health authorities recommend protecting the respiratory tract and the eyes, when there are risks of contagion by aerosols, it is also recommended to protect the eyes and respiratory tract against harmful elements or pollutants toxic or harmful to health, even in some cases it is recommended protection of the skin and hair, through the use of domes, face shields and protective caps. Air pollution is the introduction of viruses, particles, biological molecules and other harmful substances into the atmosphere, causing diseases and infections, as well as being this pollution that causes death to humans. The air quality in indoor places such as hospitals, or crowded places can be bad and the atmosphere can be loaded with viruses in the form of aerosols, likewise pollution and urban air quality in most cases is usually bad for people's health.

These harmful elements penetrate the human body through the respiratory system, the ocular organs and even through the surface of the skin or hair, developing or spreading a multitude of diseases or health problems, such as respiratory disease of the Covid19, which has become a serious global pandemic due to the transmission of the SarsCov2 virus, a virus that can be spread through aerosols. Following the safety recommendations, protective elements such as masks, face shields, hermetic goggles and caps are usually used, among other types of face protections that are more used in laboratories and by professional personnel, such as domes, helmets and diving suits. . All these protections are aimed at preventing elements or particles harmful to health from coming into contact with the eyes, the respiratory tract, the skin and the hair of the user.

The use of masks in the case of pandemics is usually mandatory or recommended, both in outdoor places and especially in closed places or sites, where There is a greater possibility of contagion due to the lack of ventilation, likewise health professionals in addition to using masks, must use hermetic protective glasses or face shields to protect the eye area since it is an important route of infection, they must also cover their hair and wear a non-permeable protective suit, having to be as covered as possible against contact with viruses. An individual infected by a virus, can infect other people, through the expulsions of nasal or oral secretion, either in the form of drops of fluids of different sizes, or in the form of aerosols, these secretions can be produced in various ways, when the infected person sneezes, coughs, or simply by speaking or breathing, among others.

That is why the health authorities among the most important recommendations to avoid contagion and avoid the spread of viruses, recommend that there be a safety distance between people of several meters, to try to prevent a person infected by a certain virus from reaching with its secretions directly to a healthy person and thus avoid the spread and viral infection between people. This safety distance between people is very difficult to maintain, mainly in indoor areas or closed places where space is limited or reduced, such as in offices, industrial warehouses, indoor work areas, transport, schools, universities, etc. hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, theaters, gyms, shops, supermarkets and practically anywhere indoors. In turn, the safety distance between individuals is also difficult to maintain in open places that are attended by many people, and also the social customs established in most cultures and countries, make the safety distance not maintained, in social gatherings or family gatherings. This lack of rigor in the fulfillment of maintaining the distance between people or the difficulty of being able to carry it out, is a high risk factor that finally usually ends with a notable increase in the spread of a virus.

The safety distance between people in some cases is impossible to maintain, as in the case of healthcare professionals, in these cases the professionals not only cannot maintain the safety distance, but on the contrary they must be close or in direct contact with the infected patient, so the use of hermetic masks and glasses is the only thing that protects them against possible contagion or contact with viruses. Protective masks must be as effective as possible and must be self-filtering and as watertight or hermetic possible, but in most cases both among professionals as well as among the general population, the so-called “Surgical” or “FPP” masks are usually used, none of these masks are completely watertight in their contour, so if a patient, for example sneezing or coughing directly on top of the healthcare professional, the mask could not avoid stopping the total viral load, not being able to prevent the viruses from being able to enter through the gaps around the mask or glasses and be able to reach in this way to the respiratory or ocular tracts, producing contagion. Therefore, the typical masks mostly used by the population, serve to reduce or decrease the expulsion of oral or nasal secretions of infected individuals, but they cannot stop the entire secretion, they also fail to avoid the approach or the physical impact of the viruses against a third person, against the surface of skin, hair or even against the physical surface of masks, glasses or face shields, these elements or surfaces being contaminated after contact with viruses, therefore not being able to fully protect a healthy user of possible infections, therefore, health authorities place special emphasis on the population maintaining a safety distance of several meters between people, thus trying to prevent viruses from reaching and impacting healthy people.

The problem of the spread of viruses, as in the case of Covid19, is even more serious, since according to the latest scientific studies the SarsCov2 virus, responsible for Covid19, can be transmitted through the air, in fact as indicated in different studies, this may be the main means of contagion, the transmission by aerosols.

This peculiarity of this virus changes the established rules, since the latest scientific studies have shown that the virus is not only transmitted by droplets of greater or lesser size that an infected person can release or release through oral or nasal secretions, but also It is more than likely that most people are infected by inhaling the virus that circulates in tiny particles that are suspended in the air in the form of aerosols.

These particles suspended in the air can be inhaled by other people, and the most worrying thing is that they can remain suspended in the environment for hours and travel distances beyond the two meters established as a safe distance between people. Especially and especially in indoor places that do not have good ventilation, the risk of viruses in suspension floating in the air in the form of aerosols, they increase the risk of contagion.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the existence of this airway of contagion by aerosols, in turn groups of scientists from different countries have carried out studies in which the spread of viruses is indicated as the main route of infection by aerosols. In this case, the safety distance of two meters would not be enough, since as has been explained the distance that a virus can travel is greater, reaching, according to scientific studies, even more than eight meters away, or remaining for hours in suspension in the environment. As with environmental pollution in the atmosphere, due to emitted chemical substances, dust, harmful gases, smoke, as well as other health problems, generated by mites, bacteria, pollen, etc.

Inhalation by a healthy individual of microscopic contagious particles in the form of aerosols, which remain suspended in the air for hours, after that can be the main route of infection. Likewise, the time that these contagious microscopic particles remain in suspension floating in the air, with the risk of accumulating and infecting someone, depends mainly on the ventilation factor. In this sense, specialists recommend avoiding activities in closed places, and the need to direct all possible activities outside, since it has been observed that contagion is less likely in adequately ventilated places without allowing viruses to accumulate. in the environments. In fact, there are electronic devices that measure air quality, warning when a certain space or place is too dirty or stale air, these measurement systems are useful to know the danger of a specific space or place.

In the case of virus transmission by aerosols, the protections normally used by the population such as surgical masks and other models of masks and the maintenance of a safety distance of two meters, are not enough to protect against airborne viruses, or that are in suspension, in fact due to the increase in cases of infections, the authorities carry out population confinements, to prevent the spread of viruses between people or even between animals and people and vice versa.

In the same way in another sense of protection as we have explained, in the air you can find allergic elements such as pollen particles or mites, they can also be found in the air especially in Hospitals or closed places, different types of microorganisms, germs or bacteria, and so on Likewise, the air can contain pollutants such as fumes, liquids or gases, which can penetrate into most of the most commonly used masks or goggles through gaps, wrinkles, lack of fit or through penetration of the fabric or material with the that are manufactured.

In the event that the protection elements come into contact with viruses either by direct reach through sneezing or coughing from an infected person, or by contact through aerosols directly on the surface of a mask, screen or glasses. , will make it necessary to clean the protective piece or, in the case of the masks, for them to be replaced with a new one, since through contact with a virus, said protective pieces are contaminated, because viruses can stay active for hours on most surfaces. These protection elements act as physical barriers to stop viruses when there is contact, but are dirty or contaminated when there has been physical contact with the viruses themselves. Another problem that society faces in the face of the spread of diseases transmitted by air or aerosols, is the discomfort suffered by the users of the masks, people who are forced to wear masks for long periods of time, tend to suffer discomfort when breathing, since many times an overexertion must be made in the inspiration, which makes many users remove or lower the mask for a moment to be able to inspire more easily, this makes that during that period of time in which the mask is lowered or removed from the nose or mouth area, the individual is unprotected against possible contagion, in fact it is common to see people with their nose outside the mask to avoid feeling overwhelmed. This feeling of overwhelm is especially produced by the user's exhalation itself, the air that is exhaled carries with it carbon dioxide, in addition to generating steam and heat, which makes the inside of the mask maintain a higher temperature and the feeling of lack of air is greater. This vapor that is generated by the use of the mask that is condensed inside, makes a user's glasses foggy with the vapor of the exhaled air, this condensed air escapes through the fabric, or through the upper part of the the mask and rises to the glasses causing fogging, the user having to manipulate the glasses to clean them or lower the mask to favor the entry of air.

These problems of feeling overwhelmed, shortness of breath, heat and fogging of the Eye protections are undoubtedly problems for the general population, but they are even more so for health professionals who must remain throughout the working day with the protection elements placed in closed places such as hospitals, precisely health professionals use glasses hermetic protection devices, in this way they ensure that the glasses do not fog up and that viruses cannot enter or contact the eyes through the holes or sides of the glasses, but they cannot prevent the surface of the glasses from being contaminated by the contact with viruses.

As explained, respiratory protection masks can cause problems of difficulty in breathing in people with respiratory problems, such as asthmatics or other respiratory problems, in severe cases of this type of disease, medical professionals can reach to advise against the use of masks for these people, leaving these people unprotected against airborne infections or being able to easily infect others if they are infected.

Another problem of fundamental importance when it comes to controlling the spread of viruses is that which occurs when drinking or eating. As is known, the health authorities have substantially reduced capacity or even closed catering establishments such as canteens, bars or restaurants. In these places the risk is greater, since in order to drink or eat, an individual must remove the mask, being at those times exposed to possible contagion or exposing third parties to be infected on their part, in the case that it is positive to a contagious airborne disease such as Covid19. It is even more risky in the case of eating inside bars or restaurants, since this risk is increased by lack of ventilation or drafts, which can lead to viruses being suspended in the air for hours and the diners not being protected in any way since they cannot wear the mask while they perform the act of eating or drinking, makes this situation dangerous due to the transmission of viruses in the form of aerosols.

For all these reasons, it is necessary to develop a device that increases safety against the spread of diseases by airborne transmission, such as the transmission of viruses in the form of aerosols, a device that is portable and comfortable to use, that purifies the nearby air to user. A device with rechargeable batteries by conventional charging in the electrical network, or by means of energy photovoltaic or solar, which can work directly using photovoltaic or solar energy. A device that prevents direct contact of viruses against the facial area and even against the side and back of the user's head and that can prevent direct contact of viruses with the surfaces of the protections, such as masks. or glasses, which acts in this sense as a protective barrier, which prevents surfaces from being contaminated by contact and prevents contagion from occurring by avoiding contact with viruses and other toxic or harmful elements with the eyes, nose, mouth, the user's skin and hair.

That it can protect people even when they are not wearing protective masks, such as when these people are eating, drinking or doing sports.

An advanced device, which protects people even if a safe distance cannot be maintained, for example, in medical consultations and hospitals, in public transport, on flights or trains, in work activities such as meetings or family gatherings, in schools and universities, in sporting events, among many other activities.

A device that increases ventilation and protection both outdoors and indoors, that protects the facial and eye area and the area around the user's head and that protects the upper body area, shoulders, chest, back and clothing. dressing from the approach of viruses, through the continuous generation of currents of treated and / or filtered air, which form an invisible physical barrier, which prevent the approach of harmful external elements to the user, even when the respiratory protection mask cannot be used.

A device, which eliminates the sensation of lack of air, that helps eliminate the heat and steam produced by. And in the same way as the device, it can protect users from other elements that are in the air that are harmful to health, such as pollen, dust, mites, bacteria, germs, smoke, gases and other elements that are transported. by air or by aerosols.

In short, it is necessary to create a protection device for the upper body, the ocular, facial and surrounding areas of the user's head, which, in a portable way, can exponentially increase safety against aerosol infections among other harmful elements transported by air. That it complements the safety elements such as respiratory protection masks and that it can protect people from approaching and contact with viruses even when they are wearing protective masks or not, even when the safety distance from contagions cannot be maintained. .

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The main advantages provided by the present invention make it a portable protection device against the contagion and contact of viruses by aerosols, against contaminating elements and also against other harmful elements or allergens that are found or move in the air, which offers greater safety the user in addition to the basic elements of protection such as respiratory protection masks and even that this device has the ability to protect, even without the use of masks.

The invention deals with an advanced device of easy use and portability, glasses that protect against aerosols and that purify the air from the atmosphere near the user, which has one or more electronic devices that generate ventilation or blowing, achieving eye protection , facial and even that protects around the entire head of the user and in all directions of the upper body. The device of the present invention can integrate one or more air filters, such as activated carbon filters or other filtering materials, although preferably and not limiting the anti-aerosol protective glasses of the present invention, it has filters called HEPA ( from the English "High Efficiency Particle Arresting", or "high efficiency particle collector"), or filters called ULPA ("Ultra Low Penetration Air"), both filters base their efficiency on the use of braided fibers responsible for screening the particles and letting only air pass, focus on the ability to filter particles of one size or another by each one.

99 percent of the particles that we breathe during an exhalation measure 10 pm or less, being able to be retained in the lungs and cause negative effects for the organism as we have explained. Each of the two filters have the following minimum designation and therefore the key to their differences: HEPA (H13): 99.99% efficient for filtration of particles 0.3 microns in diameter or larger. ULPA (U15): 99.9995% efficiency for filtration of MMPS particles (0.1 - 0.25 microns). Both filters have the ability to stop most harmful particles, including viruses such as SARS Cov2 among others, as well as other irritating allergens or harmful harmful elements that are in the air, generating the device drafts of filtered air and / or treated, clean and purified, creating a protective barrier around the head and face of the user and the upper body, back, shoulders and chest, avoiding the approach and contact of particles, harmful elements or viruses to the wearer of the device, thus protecting both the eye area and the respiratory tract and at the same time preventing viruses, for example, from coming into contact with the surface of the skin, with the user's hair and even with the surfaces of the mask, of the protection cap, with the upper zone of the suit or even with the physical surface of the glasses themselves. A device advanced and portable, which may have the ability to perform self-cleaning and disinfection of the air that is introduced into the device and disinfection of the air filters, which may have one or more electronic systems of portable ultraviolet light disinfection generators with germicidal, bactericidal and virucidal effect, with which the useful life of air filters would be exponentially lengthened and safety would be increased by purifying the air that is introduced into the goggles and expelled into the atmosphere close to the user.

The device of the invention is characterized by integrating one or more internal blower fans in the device itself or in the external area, which generate a continuous stream of clean and disinfected air, using the outside air, treating it with ultraviolet light and / or filtering this, and later throwing or blowing it in all or any direction and not allowing the approach and impact of viruses and any other element that is in the air against the user. These blower fans generate a continuous stream of air, which directs the air stream from the eye area, side and back of the head in all directions to the upper part of the user's body and clothing, said continuous stream of air clean, purified and treated, it acts as an invisible barrier, to prevent the approach of microorganisms, viruses or harmful elements and particles to the user of the device, causing them to be pushed out of reach of the entire ocular and facial area. out of the respiratory tract, out of the skin of the face and neck, the wearer's hair and the very surfaces of the goggles or respiratory protection mask.

Taking advantage of the microscopic size of microorganisms, harmful elements in the air or, as in the case of viruses, any particle exhaled by an infected person or any microorganism or virus that is floating in the form of an aerosol, will be expelled by the current. of air generated by it or the device fans, an effective way to maintain a clean, ventilated atmosphere free of particles and viruses, surrounding the user, thanks to the continuous generation of air currents in all directions, these air currents do not They only act as a physical barrier stopping and expelling the viruses by contact with the generated air stream, but also the stream of filtered air continuously generated by the fans or blowers, prevent the contact of the viruses from occurring, eliminating the risks of contact, contagions and preventing surfaces from being contaminated, since the generated air current expels the viruses before s from contact, preventing viruses or particles from can pass through the air stream.

The electronic protective glasses that generate purified air can be easily and comfortably carried by the user, preferably and not limited to the form of glasses or a frame or frame for glasses, so that it is positioned in the ocular area and surrounding the entire head. , and in this way direct the air up and down or in any other direction, protecting the entire facial, ocular and surrounding area of the head including the skin and hair and the entire upper body of the wearer of the device. Likewise, the housing of the device contains fixing parts, which prevent sliding or unwanted movement once placed, said fixing parts can be the frame of the glasses itself, they can be glasses temples, straps, tubes. , adjustment tapes or rubbers, with or without adjustment of measures, elastic or fixed, clips or magnets to hold the structure of the device, for example to other glasses such as prescription glasses. Device that can be used together with other prescription glasses, superimposing the glasses of the present invention to the generic glasses, one superimposed on the other. Air-generating protective glasses, which may or may not have crystals, crystals or transparent materials such as plastics, among others, which may be sun protection, graduated or both. Likewise, the lenses can be made of advanced materials such as virtual glasses or that act as a digital screen. Portable device characterized by integrating, at least one electronic ventilation or blowing system, which introduces or sucks the air from the outside and once this air has passed through the ultraviolet disinfection system and / or through the air filters, it subsequently directs that clean and purified air either by blowing directly through it or the mobile external fans, or through it or the internal fans, which subsequently send it to the different mobile mobile air outlet nozzles available, generating several air currents clean, creating a continuous safety barrier.

The air-generating protective glasses have at least one fan or blower to introduce air from the outside, inside the housing of the glasses themselves and expel it to the outside, directing the clean air blown to the desired area or areas, the device that acts as a blower, generates a continuous air inlet that is filtered and / or treated with germicidal light, and also a continuous outlet of purified air to the desired area. These ventilation and blowing systems are preferably small in size, they are silent devices, to avoid noise in operating mode.

The invention is characterized by being able to integrate portable electronic systems that generate ultraviolet light, through, for example, the use of UVA lamps or preferably by their tiny size, diodes with ultraviolet (LED) technology and / or with laser diode (DL) technology. ) which is a semiconductor device similar to an LED but that under the right conditions emits laser light. Germicidal ultraviolet light, led or laser, based on low-frequency, emitted and directed ultraviolet technology, which allows the destruction of viruses, among other pathogens, by using generators with the required nanometers for germicidal action and minimal energy consumption, and is they are preferably positioned inside the body of the device, once in place or in place, by pressure, thread, or by any type of fixation. These ultraviolet light generators are integrated inside the device preferably in the same place where the air inlet area is located and / or where the filters are integrated, in a watertight area that does not allow UVC light to exit towards the user, in this way they overlap, remaining one on top of the other, being able to carry out self-disinfection of the physical surface of the air filters, increasing and lengthening their useful life.

These ultraviolet lights, called germicides, are effective in the rapid disinfection and elimination of microorganisms such as viruses, germs and bacteria among others, by exposing ultraviolet light to surfaces, liquids and air. The ultraviolet light generators can also be integrated into the device in the area intended for disinfection of the air that is introduced inside, although the disinfection carried out by this germicidal light is considered fast when it comes to ending the activity of the viruses, germs and bacteria in the air, it is possible that the device of the invention needs to retain or force the air that enters through a guide path to have one or more guide tubes, which can have any structure or shape as long as a air passage, for example with a linear or spiral channel, that acts as a circulatory channel for the air that enters and forces this air to circulate inside this area and thus increases the time to which the air is subjected to the radiation of germicidal light, making the ultraviolet light treatment in the air greater and therefore more effective in the disinfection and deactivation of viruses and microorganisms. Far UVC light is safer for humans than UVA light, since UVC light has a very limited range of nanometers and according to the latest studies, this UVC light cannot penetrate through the outer layer of dead human skin cells or the layer of tears in the eye area, so it is not a danger to human health. However, viruses, being much smaller than human cells themselves, can be inactivated by distant UVC light by reaching their genetic material, attacking the molecular bonds that hold DNA together.

Said ultraviolet light generator system is arranged and designed in such a way that it cannot direct the light towards the skin or eyes of the user of the device, avoiding the exposure to the user of light, by means of an opaque protection piece in its contour or watertight chamber. , which only allows the emission of light to the internal part of the system, such as the channel in a linear, spiral or labyrinth form, through which the air enters and all the way through the interior of the housing and / or directly The germicidal light is directed to the air filters, having a reduced light beam power and limited to the necessary distance where it must act, eliminating the risk of contact with the user's skin or eyes.

The electronic devices that make up the device are small for integration and weight reduction, all of them have on and off buttons and / or different power selections, so that the user can activate or deactivate them when necessary or whenever you want, all of them powered by built-in rechargeable batteries, which allow their use without the need to be connected to any power grid during use and you can use, for example and without limitation, a rechargeable mini USB line to recharge through the power grid or by exchanging energy With another electronic device, as well as another possibility of energy source, the device can have photovoltaic solar panels, and therefore is autonomous and does not need electric light for its operation or for charging the batteries, this technology offers access to the energy regardless of existing electrical grids. The device of the invention works where it is necessary, both in urban environments and in rural areas where it is difficult to have access to electrical energy as well as in catastrophic areas where there is no electrical network available, an immediate and efficient solution that allows the user to be protected against to viruses and particles in aerosols, anywhere. The device of the invention can serve as an auxiliary charger to charge other electronic devices, for example a mobile phone without a battery in a remote place without electricity, by exchanging solar energy through the usb or mini usb port of the device of the invention, by both have access to energy where it is needed and independently of electrical grids and use the sun as a source of clean and renewable energy. In the case of the use of photovoltaic or solar panels that the device can count on, regardless of whether they include conventional recharging batteries in the electrical network, it would allow the operation of the device and / or the batteries to be recharged autonomously by means of the action of radiation with solar energy outdoors and with artificial light radiation indoors, increasing the capacity of use and for example leaving the conventional battery as a reserve, or allowing use in places that do not have electricity, such as remote places or that have suffered catastrophes and have lost the electricity grid, as well as in remote places such as beaches, mountains, work in the fields or farms with animals that can also carry viruses and infect human beings.

The incorporation of photovoltaic or solar panels makes the device more ecological, also by being able to incorporate electronic ultraviolet disinfection systems to disinfect the air filters, the duration of the filters is considerably increased, reducing the generation of filter waste to the environment. and using preferably recyclable and recycled materials for the manufacture of the housing, being an environmentally friendly device.

Some non-limiting examples of the functions of the smart protective glasses of the invention are: Notify when the filters must be replaced by date and / or by hours of use. Notify battery recharge and duration of the same.

The technical characteristics of this advanced anti-aerosol device form a technical effect that interacts by generating a filtered ventilation stream for hours, against the particles that approach the user. By making these smart protective glasses that generate air currents, an eye protection and respiratory protection device, by means of the continuous generation of filtered air stream and / or treated with germicidal light, to avoid contagion by aerosols and the approach of harmful particles or elements.

The World Health Organization has established a minimum safety distance between people of two meters to prevent viruses from coming into contact between individuals, this device anti-aerosol glasses prevents viruses from coming into contact with the respiratory tract , facial area, eye area, against the surface of the skin and hair of the user of the device even if it is not possible to maintain the safety distance.

Likewise, the health authorities have advised that closed places should be as ventilated as possible with air currents, so that viruses do not remain in suspension, so this device also ventilates in a way individual and by itself the closed spaces and avoids the formation of stagnant air where viruses can remain in suspension, being highly recommended in closed spaces or with little ventilation. As an example, if inside a hospital, all workers wore anti-aerosol goggles on and activated, the ventilation generated by each of them, multiplied by the number of users, would be enough to ventilate a room and avoid stagnation of viruses in the environment during activity. Users would be adequately protected with continuous ventilation, generating filtered air currents that act as an air barrier during the ignition mode, when ventilation is necessary, not allowing the virus to get into the eye, facial, or skin areas. user's head, especially in public spaces, or such as airplanes, trains, subways or public transport in general, in restaurants, bars, work and family gatherings, as well as in many other places, where the safety distance is difficult to maintain, minimizing the risk of exposure, increasing and generating air currents and ventilation.

Likewise, smart protective glasses that generate anti-aerosol air currents could protect athletes who, due to their physical activity and respiratory overstrain needs, cannot perform the activity with protective masks, which would generate a lack of oxygen. , feeling of fatigue and force an overexertion of breathing by the athlete, their physical performance and even their health may be affected. The anti-aerosol current generating glasses device would allow the athlete to be protected in a comfortable way, without the need to wear a mask and avoiding the approach of viruses to the frontal area and surrounding the face, in addition to cooling and alleviating the sensation of heat. In the same way, these anti-aerosol glasses or goggle frames would allow to protect and avoid contagion even when, for example, in an indoor restaurant, eating without a mask, preventing viruses from reaching diners effectively and comfortably. Likewise, the present invention does not only serve to protect against contagions and contamination, as explained above, the device can also be very useful to increase safety in jobs in which people are affected by fumes or dust. For example, it would be a device that would greatly help firefighters who lose vision due to smoke, these smart glasses that generate air currents, would ventilate the eye area allowing a better vision by removing the smoke. In the same way, in jobs that generate a lot of dust such as in mining, in the wood industry, earthworks, masonry, among many other activities, the dust generated can affect respiration and also the worker's vision, the smart glasses of the invention would protect both respiration and vision, continuously maintaining the dust generated, out of the worker's breathing and vision zone.
