UH professor develops innovative water-proofing for N95 masks to combat spread of COVID-19

In the wake of the growing coronavirus pandemic, UH professor Dr. Seamus Curran developed a viable solution to a pressing problem. When Curran first heard about the critical shortage of N95 masks, he wanted to help.

"To be absolutely frank with you, I was horrified when I first heard these calls about doctors and nurses in very unsafe situations," he said.

Curran is now waiting for FDA approval of an innovative waterproofing solution he created for the N95 masks.
