Kapanlagi.com - Masks are the most important item to protect yourself from the corona virus or covid-19. The various types of masks with various options certainly make you confused. So what kind of mask is suitable for preventing the spread of the corona virus?
Masks themselves are nose and mouth covers that aim to protect the respiratory system and protect yourself when inhaling hazardous substances in the air.
Recently, masks have been widely sought after to reduce the risk of transmission of the corona virus covid-19. This is also supported by WHO which states that to prevent the corona virus covid-19, things that need to be considered are washing hands with soap, and mandatory use of masks.
As we know, the spread of the corona virus is found in droplets of saliva from sick people, coughing, and also sneezing patients. Transmission can occur if saliva is inhaled by others around. Well, for that reason, there are several types of masks along with explanations that you need to know.

Surgical masks are often found in pharmacies and stores. This type of mask can be used to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Besides being affordable, this type of mask is very comfortable to wear.
Surgical masks have 3 layers, namely the outer layer which has color and is water-resistant. The middle layer acts as a filter, and the inner layer is white to absorb fluids that come out of the nose and mouth.
Surgical masks are effective for people who are sick or those who want to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Surgical masks are for single-use only.
The usage of this mask is quite easy, make sure the nose, mouth, and chin are covered by the mask. When worn, surgical masks are slightly loose and allow small particles to enter.

N95 masks are also recommended to prevent the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus. Although the price of N95 masks tends to be more expensive than surgical masks, the function of N95 masks is equally attractive.
The use of N95 masks is often found for the prevention of corona virus spread. N95 masks are designed to fit the nose and mouth of adults perfectly.
However, the drawback of N95 masks is that you may feel uncomfortable when using them. This happens because N95 masks cause difficulty in breathing if used for a relatively long time.
Another factor is that N95 masks are capable of filtering 95% of large and small particles, making it difficult for viruses to enter. Therefore, if you suffer from asthma, it is not recommended to use this mask.
N95 masks can be used up to 5 times, after which they must be disposed of. These masks are also not recommended for daily use. This is because they can cause difficulty in breathing.

Motorcycle masks are often used by people when riding. This mask aims to filter out dust and pollution when on the road. This mask is also claimed to be a mask that can prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus.
Motorcycle masks are designed with adjustable rubber straps, so the mask fits tightly when worn. When you wear a motorcycle mask, one thing to note is that you need to wash it frequently to keep it clean and free from viruses.

P95 masks are suitable for preventing the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus. This mask has advantages such as filtering out dust, viruses, and small particles in the air. In addition, this type of mask can filter particles that contain oil such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, or paint.
Unlike N-type masks that cannot be used in oily environments, P-type masks can be used in both oily and non-oily environments.

This type of mask is believed to be stronger than N95 masks, which can only filter 95% of particles. N99 masks are able to filter dangerous particles up to 99%. However, N99 masks are not resistant to particles containing oil.
On the other hand, N100 masks are able to filter dangerous particles up to 99.97%. N100 masks are also not resistant to particles containing oil. These masks are suitable for use if you want stronger protection against the corona virus.
Both of these masks have 3 layers. The first layer functions to trap coarse particles such as dust and sand. The second layer functions to filter incoming particles. And the third or innermost layer is made of activated carbon that can combat easily evaporating organic compounds.
From the above explanation regarding the importance of using masks as personal protective equipment, another thing to note is to continue washing hands regularly and maintaining cleanliness in the surrounding environment to avoid the corona virus outbreak.
