Depending on the place you are getting them (local hardware store or pharmacy) the price varies. In a box there are 20 masks. You can even get them from Amazon at $21.99 a box. The material from which they are made is comfortable and it has dual straps and padded nose guard to ensure comfort all day long. It is best to wear one each day and after that throw them away in the garbage can. Be sure to close it properly and after that wash your hands with soap. If you know you have been in an area with lots of germs you should wash your hands with alcohol too especially if you work in a health facility where you always come in contact with infected people. Most of the latest diseases are transmitted in air and when someone sneezes or coughs million of germs and bacteria is thrown in the air. Even if you are at a reasonable distance they can still reach you as they spread very quickly. This is why it is best to be protected and wear a N95 mask.



The 3M N95 disposable face mask also has electrostatic ally charged microfibers which exceed even the NIOSH requirements concerning filtration, and even provides comfort and a cooler breathing than a regular surgical face mask. If you work with solid minerals like coal, iron core, flour and other substances you should use such mask. What is more if you are working in the cleaning business you could also use one for protection against particles from cleaning sprays. This N95 mask doesn’t protect you thou against gases and vapors coming from paint spraying or sandblasting, aerosol concentrations exceeding 10 times the OSHA PEL. You should also know that this mask does not supply oxygen.



There is nothing more important than your health and you should always be prepared and stay informed on how you can prevent taking diseases. It is best to be prevented than to be forced to follow treatments afterwards. And because these 3M N95 masks are not that expensive you should have some in the house for any emergency.
