How does the filtering material of a mask work?

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has forced people to use respiratory protection at all times to prevent the entry of the Covid-19 virus into the body, but the choice of mask should be based on the minimum efficiency level delivered by each disposable respirator.

Do you know the characteristics of the masks you use every day? There are many types of disposable respirators on the market, which differ in their construction features such as design, number of layers, filtering material, nose clip, location of elastic bands, and integration of exhalation valve in the front part.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, masks have become an easily accessible and highly efficient respiratory protection item to prevent the spread of Covid-19. However, for a disposable respirator to fulfill its function as a barrier against the virus, it must be made of materials capable of trapping and retaining particles, otherwise it only becomes a deceptive element that puts people’s health at risk,” says Rodrigo Salazar, Technical Manager of AIR Safety.
