Three Misunderstandings About Wearing Disposable Face Mask

1. Gauze masks can be used to prevent dust and are comfortable to wear
Dust masks are special labor protection products, and the state has special standard requirements for their quality. As early as 2000, it was expressly stipulated that gauze masks should not be used as dust masks, because gauze masks only have a dust blocking efficiency of about 10% for dust below five microns, which is the most harmful to the human body. Play a role in preventing dust hazards.

2. Non-woven dust masks can be cleaned and reused, which can save costs

The common dust masks on the market, their filter materials are all meltblown non-woven materials, mostly polypropylene, usually called PP meltblown cloth, which is an ultra-fine electrostatic fiber cloth that can capture dust. After the dust is captured by the ultra-fine electrostatic fiber cloth, it is extremely difficult to be detached by cleaning, and washing with water will also destroy the electrostatic dust-absorbing ability. Therefore, the non-woven mask cannot be cleaned and needs to be discarded after use. In order to save costs, some companies require employees to clean their masks for secondary use after a period of use. Some mask manufacturers have also developed so-called "efficient and washable" dust masks that sandwich a layer of melt-blown non-woven fabric between traditional gauze masks. , are wrong and dangerous behavior.


3. As long as you wear a Dust Mask, you will not get pneumoconiosis

First of all, dust masks have a certain filter volume. If their filtering capacity is exceeded, they cannot be dustproof. Therefore, for some places with high dust concentration, engineering transformation should be carried out to control the dust, and the dust concentration should be reduced to below the allowable concentration, and then consider choosing to wear a dust mask.

Secondly, the choice of dust mask should choose a higher protection level, and the dust mask cannot be dustproof if it is not worn correctly. This includes not only wearing according to the instructions for use, ensuring that the wearing position is correct and suitable (no leakage) each time, but also insisting on wearing it during dust-contacting operations, finding signs of failure of the mask in time, and replacing it in time.

The above are several common dust masks. The mask should be marked with the manufacturer's logo, certification level, compliance standards and product code.
