N95 masks are industrial protective masks with very strong sealing and excellent filtering performance. They can also play a good blocking role in the spread of haze, bacteria and viruses. It is worth noting that due to the strong sealing, the air permeability is relatively poor. It is best to use it with caution for people with breathing difficulties, the elderly and children.

2. Disposable masks (medical surgical masks)

It is mainly used to resist droplets and particulate pollutants larger than 4 microns . This disposable mask can only be worn for a short time. It is recommended to throw it away immediately after use. Once washed, the carbon adsorption effect inside will become ineffective and it will no longer be able to block viruses and bacteria. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this mask for a long time to prevent influenza. It is relatively suitable for short-term use for patients or non-sick people.
