The global pandemic coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) had led to an increase in face mask demandto minimise the spread of the virus. Consequently, the trade in face mask production had risen extremely to meet that need.Many categories of facemasks have been produced using different materials(e.g., polypropylene, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, and polycarbonate).In this survey study, we aimed to evaluate the extent of common knowledge about the nature of which face masks are made in Libyan society. We carried out an online questionnaire-based survey, which compromised many questions that assessed the knowledge and awareness of the Libyan community about the face masks during COVID-19.A total of 431 participants respondedto the survey. The results obtained showed that there was a variation in knowledge and awareness about the face mask properties among the participants.
