The n95 mask can come in handy in various situations. Don’t think you can use it just in hospitals, or those who really need it are the ones working in health care facilities. This is very wrong, because it has multiple uses and it may happen one day that you need it. The good thing is that you can buy it online, from your local hardware store or from the pharmacy. And don’t worry because they don’t have an expiration date. There is no problem if you get a box and keep it in the house for longer periods of time.

There are many manufacturers of n95 masks and one of the most trusted is 3M. You might have heard of it once it has worldwide recognition. And there is not just one type of n95 masks. You can choose the one suitable according to the existing type. For example there are n95 surgical masks, these don’t provide much protection and they don’t filter the air as high as the n95 respirator. You can see these simple masks in hospitals, worn by doctors or nurses. N95 respirators on the other hand are more effective when it comes to protection against airborne particles.



They have been approved by NIOSH and they meet the CDC guidelines. They have a high percentage of 95% when it comes to filtering the air. The multiple layers of materials assure a comfortable breathing and the nose strap makes sure you don’t get blurriness when you breathe towards your eyes. They usually come in two sizes, regular and small. But there is no worry as in most cases the elastic line coming over the ears are adjustable. You must make sure however that the mask fits your face perfectly, as any gap might represent an entrance for viruses, dust and other airborne particles.



When epidemics such as swine and avian flu have been scarring everybody, these n95 masks were and still are the best solution for prevention.  Even if you are working in dusty environments and come in contact with dust rocks you can certainly use n95 masks to assure a clear breathing. Anything you inhale can be a threat to your health. It can represent the starting point towards breathing or lung problems. That is why even if you are cleaning around the house with chemical sprays you can consider wearing such a face mask. In the garden as well or if you are mowing the lawn, you can never know from where you get your allergies or problems. An n95 mask can be worn for an entire day, just make sure you dispose it afterwards at the garbage and wash your hands with soap. These n95 masks are however, not oil-resistant and they don’t provide air.



You can find them for about $10-$20 a box containing 20 masks. It is a small price to pay for your health condition. Even when you are watching TV you see in movies everybody wearing something on their face when coming in contact with strange particles or environments. And in this case, life is real and it happens at every corner.
