1. Apparatus for diagnostic testing, comprising:
A. a face mask;
B. a particulate collector disposed in a vicinity of a surface of the face mask, the particulate collector comprising a surface that (i) is any of water-soluble and adhesive, and (ii) is in fluid coupling with a reagent for a first biomarker;
C. a condensate collector disposed in the vicinity of the surface of the face mask, the condensate collector comprising a hydrophobic field disposed adjacent to one or more hydrophilic channels;
D. a transducer in fluid coupling with the one or more hydrophilic channels, the transducer including a bioreceptor for a second biomarker and generating an electrical signal in a presence of that second biomarker in a fluid.
