Note the keyword: "not wearing the right," not "not wearing."
With the normalization of epidemic
prevention, masks have become essential equipment when we go out. However, many
people only pay attention to wearing masks but do not pay attention to the
correct way to wear masks, so wearing masks is imaginary.
There are many members of the mask family,
but not all of them are called anti-drug masks. There are also cotton masks
with the only surface, which are good at covering the face, sun protection, and
dust control but cannot prevent new crowns. Previously, the store published the
same transparent mask of the star, which is new trendy but does not ventilate
and cannot stop the virus. Recently, the person who wore this mask out of the
house has not been born dead? That said, even the ability to prevent viruses
covers is different. Our general public generally wears medical masks with a
lower level of protection than medical-surgical acts.
So what about the dazzling N95/N90/KN95/KN90/FFP3/FFP2 on the market?
All of these can block viruses and
are non-disposable.
When choosing a mask, you can see that the
show's left side is printed with the model number and implementation standard
of the performance; different numbers and words represent different protection
levels and protection standards.
N95 is produced according to the American standard NOISH, such as 3M and Honeywell.
FFP2 is the European standard EN149.
KN95 is the standard Chinese GB2626-2006.
Look at the three implementation standards
to confirm that genuine and not counterfeit goods can be purchased confidently.
Those with a V at the end of the number indicate that there is a valve. So how
to compare the protection level of these masks? You can refer to the following
formula: FFP3>FFP2=N95=KN95>KN90
Even the lowest grade KN90 is enough to
stop 90% of viruses. If you are not going to a high-risk place, there is no
need to wear the highest protection grade. Disposable medical masks and any N95
and N90 are the best choices.
How to wear a mask?
First, wash your hands and open the mask
package to determine the mask's inner and outer layers: generally speaking, the
folded layer inside is the inner layer, and the folded layer outside is the
outer layer, i.e., blue facing outward and white facing inward. Then judge the
top and bottom of the mask: the internal metal strip is the top end.
The next step is :
1:Wash: Clean your hands to prevent bacteria, viruses, etc., from contaminating inside the mask.
2:Hang: Pick up the mask with both hands and unfold it, lay it on the nose of your face, and hang the rope on both sides on your ears.
3:Pull: Pull the wrinkles of the mask with both hands in the up and down direction at the same time so that the show completely covers the mouth, nose, and chin.
4:Press: Press the metal strip on the upper nose of the mask with both index fingers so that the upper end of the show is close to the bridge of the nose.
5:Adjustment：Adjust the position of the mask so that the correct range of coverage is from the chin to 1cm below the eyes.
6:Measurement: Conduct a simple
airtightness test; the mask collapses slightly when inhaling and expands when
exhaling, indicating that the airtightness of wearing the mask is sufficient.
If our nose or both cheeks leak air, the show needs to be adjusted.
Note: After wearing the mask, please do not
frequently touch the show to avoid reducing the protective effect.
How to take off the mask and drop the act?
Taking off the mask and dropping it sounds
like only two simple actions, but there are problems. Do you remember to wash
your hands every time you take off your cover first? Think about it. When your
hands take off the show, contact with the outer wall of the front of bacteria
and viruses is inevitable. After that, it is easy to get sick from the mouth
and tragic. Also, put the discarded mask inside a paper bag or in a plastic bag
and put it into a trash bin with a lid on it. Many people's practice is to
throw the discarded masks into the trash immediately without considering the
environmental pollution caused by acts with many bacteria and viruses.
If you eat at a restaurant, many people
will find that they take off their masks while eating and pull them right up to
their chin and neck. Think about it. Can you be sure that the exposed chin and
neck will not have bacteria and viruses attached to them? If you can't be sure,
if you pull the mask up to your chin, the inside of the show will be
contaminated, and food, hands, etc., may spoil the bacteria and viruses on the
outside of the cover. It's scary to think about. Also, disposable masks are
best not to be reused many times, but not. Depending on the situation, the
conditions under which the show can be recycled are that it has not been to a
crowded place or a high-risk place. The cleaning and disinfection method of the
mask is not sprinkling alcohol or boiling with high-temperature water can be
solved, but directly drying in a ventilated area is better.
