Uses of masks

Wearing FFP2 mask

The breathing mask (left) is provided in the form of an N95 mask in the United States and in the form of an FFP ("Filtering Mask") mask in the United Kingdom to prevent users from inhaling small airborne particles during the aerosol generation program (AGP). It must be close to the user's face. There are three categories: FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3. FFP3 provides the highest level of protection. Likewise, the mask must wear goggles.

What to do after taking off the FFP2 mask?

The outer layer of FFP2 masks tends to accumulate a lot of dust, bacteria and other dirt in the outside air, while the inner layer blocks the exhaled bacteria and saliva. Therefore, the two sides cannot be used alternately, otherwise the dirt on the outer layer will be directly exposed. It becomes a source of infection by inhaling the body when it is close to the face. When you are not wearing the mask, you should fold it into a clean envelope, fold the side close to your nose and mouth, and don't just stuff it in your pocket or hang it around your neck. FFP2 masks are similar to N95 and KN95 masks and cannot be cleaned. Because it gets wet, the mask will release static electricity and cannot absorb dust with a diameter of less than 5um. High-temperature steam disinfection is similar to cleaning. Water vapor will also cause static discharge, which will cause the mask to fail. If you have an ultraviolet lamp at home, you can consider using it to sterilize the surface of the mask to prevent accidental contact with the surface of the mask and cause pollution. High temperature can also be sterilized, but masks are usually made of still material. High temperature may also cause masks to burn, causing safety hazards. It is not recommended to use ovens and other facilities for high-temperature disinfection.

Use of masks

The function of the mask is to isolate dust, wind and sand, viruses, toxic and harmful gases and odors, including droplets, which also have a good filtering effect on the air entering the lungs. When working and living in a polluted environment, you must wear a mask. If you have infectious diseases of the respiratory system, you can also wear a mask to prevent infection. It can not only isolate dust, bacteria, and haze in the air, but also protect the respiratory tract. When the weather is cold, you can also wear a mask to isolate the cold air, which can prevent cold and warm. Masks are hygienic products and can be worn in the mouth and the part of the nose. It can filter the air entering the mouth and nose, thereby reducing the spread of the virus, especially during the epidemic, the mask has an irreplaceable effect.

But here I want to appeal to everyone, try to leave these medical protection level masks to the frontline medical staff, they are the people who need these masks most. Don't just pursue high-level masks. Ordinary medical masks are enough for most healthy people who are not in the epidemic area. Viruses are still raging. Anti-particulate respirators or dust masks are indispensable to meet daily protection needs. Both medical surgical masks and FFP2 masks can isolate viruses in daily life. But any mask is not a panacea. There is no need to go out and gather, wash hands frequently and ventilate the best protection for yourself and your family.
