Masks are so important, how to choose?

It is well known that face masks can effectively protect the respiratory system from external dust, saliva, viruses and other tiny particles, thereby protecting human health.

The first mask in the world was China. In ancient times, people in the palace began to cover their noses and noses with silk scarves in order to prevent dust and breath pollution, as in "Li Shu": "cover your mouth, and fear will touch people." and "Menci Lilou": "Xi Zi" If you are unclean, everyone will pass your nose.". Covering your nose with your hands or sleeves is very unhygienic and inconvenient to do other things. Later, someone used a piece of silk cloth to cover your nose and nose. In his book "Marco Polo's Travels", Marco Polo describes his 17 years of living in China. There is one of them: "In the Yuan Dynasty palace, all the people who donated food covered their mouths and noses with silk cloth, so as not to touch the food and drink." The silk cloth with such mouth and nose is the original mask.

Thousands of years later, masks have become a must-have product in many countries, but it is difficult to enter ordinary families in its birthplace. Even in some mandatory industrial sites, it has not been implemented. What is the matter?

One

Industry

Some large domestic enterprises have lowered prices year by year in mask bidding schemes, leading to mask factories having to reduce costs to obtain orders. The consequence will inevitably be a decline in quality, and ultimately the health of employees will make concessions to the profits of the enterprise. This is still the case for large enterprises, SMEs and workshops are even more invisible, and this expenditure is directly eliminated in places where masks must be used.

two

Household field

The average family rarely has a mask. People are used to "finding problems and solving problems", but rarely prevent problems in advance. If someone in the family coughs, they usually take medicine first, and then go to the hospital to get an injection. After a long period of time, some people get infected with each other. The family coughs in turn, but they don’t know to wear a mask as soon as possible to stop the virus from the source.

three

medical field

Although masks are just a necessity in the medical field, many users have a deep understanding of it, knowing that wearing a mask will have serious consequences and even life-threatening, but because of the limited understanding of masks, it is impossible to choose a suitable mask, or even know how to correct it. Wear it to make the mask achieve better protection.

A small piece of mask can be said to be "unlocked" when it comes to respiratory defense. Its cost is negligible for the health of employees or family members, but why not see it everywhere?

The author believes that there are mainly several aspects: one is convenience, and the mask will inevitably cause a certain degree of cumbersomeness and respiratory obstruction (especially hot days), so the wearer is not easy to accept; second, the mask is worn in our country There are few people (rare and strange), and it is easy to have a different vision for the wearer; moreover, the general public generally has insufficient understanding of masks and poor awareness of prevention, which breeds a fluke psychology, that wearing a mask does not make a difference until it has serious consequences Only regret the night.

Masks are so important, how to choose them?

1.The mask itself should be clean

In order to reduce production costs, many domestic cheap masks come from family workshops and manual spot welding. Workers without training, without any protective measures, grab their eyebrows and beards, and all kinds of sweat, saliva and hair together... How can a clean mask be produced in such a production environment? Therefore, you should choose a qualified manufacturer and a mask produced by direct contact with an automated machine without human hands. If you can choose a mask produced in a self-cleaning room, it is better.

2.Masks should use high-quality materials

It is still a cost reason. Many mask manufacturers use backlog materials and recycled materials, and the quality of the filter paper is not close to the standard, and the weight is not up to the standard. The masks produced not only fail to achieve the filtering effect, but the products are waste products. How can such masks be protected? Healthy purpose? Brand-new materials of hygienic level should be selected, and the filtering level should be consulted by relevant professionals according to the field of use.

3.Medical masks should be disinfected

Because of the need to contact immunocompromised patients in the medical field, the requirements for masks are not only clean, but also sterile. Many masks sold online say that they have been sterilized, but they cannot produce any proof. This unknown origin, untested masks are not so much protective products as intruders. The bacteria and viruses it carries pose a great health risk to the wearer.
