Things DH told me:
When I ask him why we don’t hear about people committing suicide by carbon monoxide in their garage with the car running, he said it’s because modern cars have catalytic converters (or maybe it was another mechanical thing ) and don’t put out those emissions.
Is this right?
If one is so inclined to commit suicide that method always seemed the best to me.

There are charts available that show how much they help by mask composition and fit. As I recall it varies between 20% and 95%. Of course, if you're forced to wear one for hours or days while exposed to patients shedding lots of virus, you're probably doomed.
