After careful consideration of the latest scientific proof from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), they are advising people to put on a face covering in enclosed spaces where social media isn't necessarily possible or in which you come into contact with people you don't normally meet to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. Protective masks versus respirator masks What's a protective mask? - Masks are loose fitting, covering the mouth and nose
- Designed for one time protection, to capture bodily fluid leaving the wearer- Example -- worn through operation to prevent coughing, sneezing, etc the vulnerable patient What is a Respirator Mask? - Respirators are tight fitting masks, designed to make a decorative seal- Non-valved respirators Offer good two-way security, by filtering both inflow and outflow of air- All these are designed to protect the wearer (when worn properly), up to the safety rating of this mask- Available as disposable, half face or full face- Not for use by the general publicSurgical masks have greater demands, and respirators possess the greatest requirements. Respirators also usually fit tighter round the face (data shows they score higher on athletic efficacy ) 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 potential contaminants from the immediate atmosphere. Masks are produced in various thicknesses and with differing abilities to protect you in contact with liquids. These properties can also affect how easily you may breathe through the face mask and also just how well the mask protects you.Even though a disposable mask may be effective in preventing splashes and large-particle droplets, a facial mask, by design, does not filter or block quite small particles in the atmosphere which may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures.Disposable masks aren't intended to be utilized more than once. If your mask is either damaged or soiled, or when breathing through the mask gets difficult, you need to remove the face mask, then discard it safely, and replace it with a new one. To safely discard your mask, put it in a plastic bag and put it in your household garbage bin. Clean your hands after handling the mask.FFP2 masks are used to protect the lungs out of anything poisonous in the air. This could be from particles and dust, to aerosols and smoke. There are numerous online store to masques ffp2.The FFP2 mask provides more security than the FFP1. It is the EU equivalent of the US N95 regular and recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) during the outbreaks or SARS, coronavirus and avian flu. It gives protection from deleterious materials in the air such as lead dust, as well as aerosols and smoke. It's, hence, a popular mask in metal and mining industries, agriculture, and is the go-to mask for health care professionals to protect against influenza.Forums
