Which masks are disposable

What are disposable masks?
Disposable masks are an indispensable attribute of our lives, especially during periods of outbreaks of viral infections. But how to figure out the variety of options proposed? In fact, disposable is not just a characteristic of the material, but rather a designation of the recommended method of use. We will figure it out in more detail.
Types of disposable masks by material:
The most common are masks of non -woven material (spanbond). They come in different layers: three -layer, with an additional filter, with an enhanced outer layer. The number of layers affects the degree of protection. Three -layer masks are usually quite effective for everyday use and protection against large drops containing viruses. Masks with an additional filter provide more reliable protection. In addition, there are masks from Meltbleun - a special material with microscopic fibers that perfectly delay small particles. It is important to remember that even the highest quality masks have a limited service life.
How to determine that the mask is really disposable?
This is not always obvious. Manufacturers usually indicate information on the packaging. The key point is the inscription disposable product or similar. Even if the mask looks clean after use, its protective properties are reduced, and the structure of the material can be damaged. Therefore, despite the temptation of reuse, it is better to adhere to the principle of disposability.
What to do using a disposable mask?
After using the mask, it becomes a potential carrier of microorganisms. Therefore, it is extremely important to dispose of it correctly. It is best to place the used mask in a tightly closed bag and throw it into a garbage bucket. Avoid throwing masks to the ground or to public places. Careful attitude to the environment and observance of hygiene rules is the key to our health and well -being. Caring for themselves and others is the responsibility of everyone.
