I wonder if the Quebec government tested the masks for things like this? Especially, considering:
> Back in December, the Quebec government revealed that masks it had been distributing for months to more than 15,000 daycares across the province did not meet safety standards, and daycare staff were ordered to stop using them.
> Between May and November, the ministry distributed 31.1 million MC9501 masks throughout the network to protect staff from COVID-19, but they were determined to be unfit for use.
Fool me once...
- microplastics 6y agoAgree, with the caveat that specific testing for graphene is actually not trivial (it is fundamentally carbon). But functional safety testing, supplier surveys, etc can be put in place to catch this sort of issue upstream.
- shawnz 6y agoWhat should they have tested for besides graphene? Is there some list of contaminants which you feel would be a minimum requirement for their testing, which includes graphene? Moreover do you know what kinds of tests they actually did perform? Without knowing that, how can you judge whether the level of testing was adequate or not? Have you looked into the rate of contaminants being found on their competitors products? Etc.
- cxcorp 6y agoYou are right, I was quick to judge without knowing. Thanks.

- sudosysgen 6y agoIt's really not an issue of testing. It's much worse - it's written on the box that there is graphene in it.
- 908B64B197 6y agoSounds like they bought first and then tested later. Not a bad strategy for equipment in short supply.
