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},
