You should consider your health as the most important factor in life. If you have it you can do everything and thus you have a good state of spirit. And because nowadays airborne particles are everywhere and there are all sort of diseases transmitted through air (like swine flu or avian flu) we must take extra care. And this does not mean necessarily taking meds, because they don’t always work but use an effective and cheaper way of protection: wearing an n95 mask. And along this article you will find out how to use the mask and when.

These n95 masks have been approved by NIOSH, as they filtrate 95% of the air you breathe and they are recommend by CDC (Centers for Disease Control). The good thing is that you can get these masks at your local hardware stores, pharmacies or even online, you can find a box of 20 for about $21.99. And because they don’t have an expiration date you can keep a box in your house and use it for any emergency. And not only, because when you are doing house chores there is a lot of dust in the air, when you mown the lawn there are particles that could cause allergies.



Wearing an n95 masks keeps you safe from all these, but keep in mind the fact that they don’t provide oxygen, they filter the air. Especially if you work in a health facility you can use them or if you come in contact with a lot of people. Close contact with someone who has the flu is considered 6 feet or less. You can easily put the mask on your face as it fits perfectly and what is more it has adjustable straps you can arrange while you put it over the ear. They come over the face protecting the mouth and the nose. Be sure there aren’t any gaps or air that could penetrate and reach your mouth or nose.



You can wear an n95 mask all day long, but after that make sure you dispose it in the garbage and avoid contact with anything else in case there are germs or bacteria. Afterwards make sure to wash your hands with soap or even alcohol in case you think there is any risk involved. Don’t ever re-use an n95 mask. Even if you have an allergy at dust or pollen you can use this mask when you move around or especially if you live in a highly-polluted area with a lot of cars. You don’t want to inhale all that dust and fume in your lungs. They are very handy, easy to use and they don’t cost as much as your treatment meds, and if you can why not avoiding taking any treatment?



Remember that prevention is the first step to keep your health in a good state. There are many types of n95 masks depending on the usage and for what do you need, there are simple chirurgical ones you see used by doctors, respirators which filtrates the air and some advanced one used in serious cases when there is an epidemic. They provide all the security you need and keep you and your family safe.
