An 'emergency bra' has been created by a Ukrainian scientist that can be turned into a facemask to protect against lethal chemical attacks or biological hazards.



The uplifting garment can be worn as intended then easily removed, separated into two and converted into two face masks that filters out harmful airborne substances - one for the wearer, and for a needy by-stander - or onlooker.



According to the inventor, Ukranian scientist Dr Elena Bodnar, it doesn't matter what your cup size is either as the masks are fully-adjustable to give the same level of protection.



The Associated Press reports that Dr Bodnarm, who's now based in Chicago, initially got her idea after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.



She explained: 'If people had had cheap, readily available gas masks in the first hours after the disaster...they may have avoided breathing in Iodine-131, which causes radiation sickness.'



She also claims the brassiere could be useful in the event of biological terrorist attacks.

To be honest I don't know if this is the most pointless or genius invention ever

Lol. I think it's clever.

I was going to say, what about men? But it converts into 2 facemasks, which is okay if your other half is with you, otherwise he's toast!



So ladies, your boobs will get radiation sickness but you should be able to breathe okay. Meanwhile, men will be flashed with lots of boobs before they keel over! Excellent!

Apparently it might be a contender for a Nobel Peace Prize
