Monitoring module (6) for arrangement on a face
mask, wherein the face
mask is designed as a face half
mask and has one or more paper
layers and / or one or more fabric
layers for covering a mouth and
nose area of a user and the monitoring module (6) is mechanically coupleable with the face mask and comprises the following: - an
electronic circuit (61) for monitoring the use of the mouth and
nose protection, - at least one first sensor element (681) arranged and configured on the face mask to provide a sensor
signal suitable for detecting the
breathing processes of a user, wherein the at least one first sensor element (681) - is designed and configured as a temperature sensor element to provide a sensor
signal that is representative of the temperature of air located between a facial surface in the mouth and
nose area of the user and the mouth and nose protection, or - is designed and configured as a
humidity sensor element to provide a sensor
signal that is representative of the
humidity of the air located between a facial surface in the mouth and nose area of the user and the mouth and nose protection, or - is designed and configured as a
pressure sensor element to provide a sensor signal that is representative of the air pressure of the air located between a facial surface in the mouth and nose area of the user and the mouth and nose protection, or - is designed and configured as a
carbon dioxide gas sensor element to provide a sensor signal representative of a
carbon dioxide concentration in the air located between a facial surface in the mouth and nose area of the user and the protective element of the mouth and nose protection, or - is designed and configured as a sound
transducer sensor element to provide a sensor signal that is representative of a
breath sound and / or
exhalation sound of the user of the mouth and nose protection device or - is designed and configured as a
thermal conductivity sensor element to provide a sensor signal representative of the
thermal conductivity of the air located between a facial surface in the mouth and nose area of the user and the protective element of the mouth and nose covering, and - a
power supply unit (64) for at least the
electronic circuit (61), wherein the
power supply unit (64) comprises a
solid-state accumulator without electrolytes.
