      abstract     = {Many countries introduced the requirement to wear masks in
                      public spaces for containing SARS-CoV-2 making it
                      commonplace in 2020. Up until now, there has been no
                      comprehensive investigation as to the adverse health effects
                      masks can cause. The aim was to find, test, evaluate and
                      compile scientifically proven related side effects of
                      wearing masks. For a quantitative evaluation, 44 mostly
                      experimental studies were referenced, and for a substantive
                      evaluation, 65 publications were found. The literature
                      revealed relevant adverse effects of masks in numerous
                      disciplines. In this paper, we refer to the psychological
                      and physical deterioration as well as multiple symptoms
                      described because of their consistent, recurrent and uniform
                      presentation from different disciplines as a Mask-Induced
                      Exhaustion Syndrome (MIES). We objectified evaluation
                      evidenced changes in respiratory physiology of mask wearers
                      with significant correlation of O2 drop and fatigue (p <
                      0.05), a clustered co-occurrence of respiratory impairment
                      and O2 drop $(67\%),$ N95 mask and CO2 rise $(82\%),$ N95
                      mask and O2 drop $(72\%),$ N95 mask and headache $(60\%),$
                      respiratory impairment and temperature rise $(88\%),$ but
                      also temperature rise and moisture $(100\%)$ under the
                      masks. Extended mask-wearing by the general population could
                      lead to relevant effects and consequences in many medical
                      fields},
