Unveiled at the IFA Berlin tradeshow, the release will make LG the latest in a slew of companies including Adidas and Burberry that have made forays into face coverings in recent months.
 
This comes as several countries, including the UK, have made face masks mandatory in communal spaces like shops and on public transport to help stem the spread of the coronavirus.
 
The design features two fans, one on each side of the face, that circulate fresh air into the mask.
The air is cleaned using H13 HEPA filters, which can block 99.95 per cent of airborne particulates as small as 0.1 microns.
 
The product features a patented respiratory sensor, which detects the speed and volume of the wearer's breathing and automatically chooses one of three fan speeds to match.
This also allows the fan to speed up when inhaling and slow down when exhaling, in order to reduce resistance.
 
A 820 milliamps per hour battery can power the mask for up to eight hours on the lowest and two hours on the highest fan setting.
