After careful consideration of the most recent scientific proof from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), they are advising the public to put on a face covering in enclosed spaces where social media isn't always possible or where you come into contact with people that you don't normally meet to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Protective masks versus respirator masks What is a protective mask? - Masks are loose fitting, covering the mouth and nose
- Designed for one-way protection, to capture bodily fluid exiting the wearer- Example -- worn through surgery to prevent coughing, sneezing, etc on the exposed patient What's a Respirator Mask? - Respirators are tight fitting masks, designed to make a decorative seal- Non-valved respirators provide good two-way protection, by filtering both inflow and outflow of air- These are designed to protect the wearer (when worn properly)up into the safety rating of the mask- Accessible as disposable, half face or full face- Not to use by the general publicSurgical masks have higher demands, and respirators have the highest requirements. Respirators also generally fit tighter around the facial skin (data reveals they score higher on athletic effectiveness) than surgical masks and single-use face masks. Disposable Mask A disposable mask is a loose-fitting, apparatus that produces a physical barrier between the nose and mouth of the wearer and possible contaminants in the immediate environment. Masks are made in various thicknesses and with diverse abilities to protect you in contact with fluids. These properties can also affect how easily you may breathe through the face mask and also how well the mask protects you.While a disposable mask might be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design, doesn't block or filter very small particles in the atmosphere which may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures.Disposable masks are not intended to be utilized more than once. If your mask is either damaged or soiled, or if passing through the mask becomes hard, you need to remove the face mask, then discard it safely, and replace it with a brand new one. To safely discard your mask, put it into a plastic bag and set it in your home garbage bin. Clean your hands after handling the mask.FFP2 masks are worn to protect the lungs out of anything poisonous in the atmosphere. This could be from dust and particles, into aerosols and smoke. There are several online store to masques ffp2.The FFP2 mask provides more security than the FFP1. It's the EU equivalent of the US N95 regular and advocated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) during the outbreaks or SARS, coronavirus and avian influenza. It gives protection against deleterious materials in the atmosphere such as lead dust, as well as aerosols and smoke. It is, therefore, a popular mask in mining and metal industries, agriculture, and is your go-to mask for healthcare professionals to protect against influenza.Forums
