  1. What Is a Kn95 Mask and how effective they are accumed952.substack.com/p/what-is-a-kn95-mask-and-how-effective A Kn95 mask is an abbreviated name for a non-metallic, but highly-controllable, particulate filter respirator, that filters the air in order to reduce the threat of serious respiratory infections. Kn95 masks ensure the protection of the user from respiratory irritants, including particulates. These types of respirators can be worn by virtually everyone who is frequently exposed to large amounts of dust or other dangerous airborne particles, such as construction workers, factory workers, automobile drivers, as well as students, and school children. A protective Kn95 mask is made up of a particulate filter, such as a HEPA filter, a front face mask, as well as back, side, or a full- face mask. The most common type of Kn95 filter is the particulate filter, which has two filters - a cover, or a top, and a particulate filter, which fits inside the protective cover. The cover prevents dust, sand, smoke, pollen, and other airborne particles from entering the user's breathing space. On the other hand, the particulate filter collects and traps the dust, polluting the environment with dangerous indoor air pollutants. In order to fully protect one's self and others around him or her, a Kn95 mask should not only have a particulate filter but one with a HEPA filtration system as well. Various uses of the Kn95 mask and how to maintain it A Kn95 mask has many important uses. These include protecting a user's lungs from health hazards, reducing the risk of suffocation, preventing dust mites from embedding themselves deep into the user's skin, preventing allergens from circulating in the air, and maintaining the safety of the breathing space. Kn95 respirators should be properly maintained in order to ensure that the protective mechanism is always in working order. One way to check the condition of your Kn95 mask is by attaching a breathing surface to it. If the breathing surface does not properly fit on your respirator, then it is necessary to adjust it. The Kn95 mask is made to be worn comfortably for a period of up to ten hours, depending on how many exposures are required for the person to be healthy. Some masks will have memory foam lining so that they can be worn while sleeping. While others will have a chin strap, which enables the wearer to keep their head in the right position. While they sleep. Most masks come with an adjustable face strap that allows them to be worn while someone is walking, as well as sitting. 1/2

  2. Because the N95 mask filters so much airborne dust and other harmful substances, it is important to keep the mask clean and dry. The dust can collect on the mask, and it can become irritated and inflamed if the dust and dirt build-up stays in the mask for too long. The user should make sure that he or she does not leave the mask outdoors, especially when it is raining or snowing. While Kn95 masks are one of the most common breathing gear that has been approved for use, they are not the only one that provides effective filtering. It is important that one replace their respiratory equipment regularly, in order to avoid being exposed to harmful contaminants. Replacement of these equipment ensures the health and safety of the user. One can easily order these masks from websites like accumed.com direct to their home. 2/2
