Wearing masks has nothing to do wuth oxygen levels. Wear double masks for better protection and start breathing exercises for increasing total lung capacity.

No, mask doesn't cause fall in oxygen saturation level in adults. It should not be used in children less than 2 years of age. It doesn't affect immunity in the negative way rather It acts as a barrier to pollution and infections.

Hello, No, wearing masks does not decrease your oxygen levels nor your immunity. However, why are you wearing three masks at the same time? Just wear one good quality mask. If you have any further questions, please take a consultation. Regards :)
