PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Start of endoscopy through the end of endoscopy

Population: The data will be analyzed via stratification by particle size as a as a volumetric measurement of density: the number of particles per unit volume.

Comparing the aerosolization of particles of six different sizes \[0.3μm, 0.5μm, 1μm, 2μm, 5μm and 10μm\] during endoscopy between patients using an endoscopic facemask to those without.
