The traditional female dress is the "Saree", a 5m long fabric drape that is wrapped around the body according to particular techniques. Its final part is used to cover the head. The veil, or at least the practice of covering the hair, has very ancient origins. It's born from the practical needs of life in the desert: protection from the sun, wind and dust. The decomposition of organic, chemical and hazardous waste produces toxic gases that can cause skin and eye irritation, damage to the respiratory tract and tumors.

To protect the respiratory tract of the workers but without annoying them throughout the day, we designed a particular P.P.E. integrated to the traditional veil. The device is removable; it only covers the nose leaving the mouth free to speak. Many women of the poorest social bracket have few clothes that always wear, even during working hours. That's why they need to have comfortable P.P.E. and be sure to not lose them.
