- Filtration Efficiency: The “N95” rating, certified by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), means it filters a minimum of 95% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. The Mankind mask specifically mentions a 5-layer system providing >99% filtration efficiency against infected droplets and airborne particles.
- Material: It is primarily made of fine mesh synthetic polymer fibers, typically non-woven polypropylene fabric, which forms the inner filtration layers.
- Fit and Comfort: The mask is designed to achieve a very close facial fit to form a seal around the nose and mouth, which is crucial for proper function. It includes an adjustable nose clip and soft ear loops (or headbands, depending on the specific model) to help achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
- Design Features: Some Mankind Safekind models are sanitized by ultraviolet germicidal light and contain deodorized activated carbon to leave a pleasant fragrance.
Uses
The N95 mask is used to protect the wearer from inhaling hazardous substances and is more effective than standard surgical or cloth masks for this purpose.
Key uses include:
- Protection Against Illnesses: It helps protect against viruses, bacteria, and other illness-causing germs, including those that cause respiratory infections like COVID-19, by filtering out infectious airborne particles and droplets.
- Protection Against Environmental Pollutants: It is effective in filtering out dust, smoke, pollen, and general air pollution (PM 2.5 pollutants).
- Occupational Settings: Healthcare workers use them in clinical settings, particularly during aerosol-generating procedures or when in close contact with infected patients. They are also used in industrial settings like construction or mining where high concentrations of dust are present.
