It is recommended to not reuse the disposable masks after it has been used for the suggested period. The WHO advises to remove and replace the disposable masks once it has become damp. Hence washing is also not recommended since it must not be reused. Also, you may refer to guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
As per WHO, masks may be necessary during clinic or hospital visits, only if you are taking care of an infected patient. Also, you may wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing to avoid infection spread. Wearing a mask may be effective only when combined with frequent hand wash or sanitizing hands with an alcohol-based sanitizer.
A respirator mask reduces the person’s respiratory exposure to contaminants present in the air such as gasses or particles. A surgical mask is generally suitable to prevent the spread of infection through the wearer’s saliva or mucous. Hence, a respirator or surgical mask may be picked as per the requirement. Please note that a respirator mask generally comes with an approval rating whereas surgical masks do not have this rating.
Though a disposable mask is suggested for protection against COVID -19, it must be used in combination with other measures for complete protection. Other measures include frequent hand wash or using sanitizer whenever interacting from the outside world and following social distancing. Only using a mask cannot provide full protection.
It may not be required probably but will not do any harm also. Wearing a mask will also encourage other people to wear one too. Hence, you may consider wearing it while walking or running to take precautions at your end.
A filtering facepiece classified as FFP3 is the most effective against coronavirus. Crafted from synthetic fibre, a well-fitted FFP3 mask has the potential to protect against inward leakage and capture very fine toxic particles. It also includes an exhalation valve that releases air, to prevent heat and moisture build-up. The mask combined with social distancing and frequent hand washing can offer optimal protection against potential virus transmission.
Disposable masks are required to achieve the safety standard EN 149:2001 +A1:2009 which are achieved in laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, cleansers, flame and respirator resistance.
Disposable masks may also have codes associated with them such as NPF, APF, TIL, TLV & Dolomite tested.
Respirators that pass the dolomite test for clogging are proven to provide a more comfortable breathing level & longer lasting performance of filtration especially in very dusty conditions.
NPF: Nominal Protection Factor - The nominal level of protection given by the respiratory protective equipment (RPE) in laboratory conditions.
APF: Assigned Protection Factor – The level or protection which can realistically be expected in workplace conditions.
TIL: The level of contaminant concentration to which the user may be exposed without health effects.
TLV: Total inward leakage.
The term N99 is an American standard and is not a standard legally allowed to be sold in the UK. The same equivalent standard in the UK is the FFP3 mask. Only masks that are marked with the FFP3 UK standard have passed the UK safety tests allowing the FFP3 masks to be sold in the UK.
The term N95 s an American standard and is not legally allowed to be sold in the UK. The same equivalent standard in the UK is the FFP2 mask. Only masks that are marked with the FFP2 UK standard have passed the UK safety tests.
