A rise in the disinfection of spaces occurred as a result COVID-19 pandemic well an increase people wearing facial coverings. Hydrogen peroxide was among recommended disinfectants for use against virus. Previous studies have investigated emissions hydrogen associated with and masks; however, those did not focus on emitted byproducts from these processes. Here, we simulate indoor space H
