§ Yes,. Nano mask has a 3D design that allow a good fit with the face of the wearer. This way, most of the air that the wearer breathes in has to go through the filter and not through the gaps between the mask and the wearer’s face. Haze can contain fine particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5), and studies have shown that Nano masks do provide good protection against particle pollutants as they are at least 95% efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 – 0.3 microns.
What are the effects of wearing a Nano mask?
§ The use of Nano NSQ-3+ masks increases effort in breathing. For some people, the use of N xx mask may cause discomfort in breathing, tiredness or headache. This may be due to the mask causing increased resistance to breathing, and a reduction in the volume of air breathed.
But with Nano, it has low resistance < 2.0 for better breathability which means a good ventilation besides light weight, comfy and hassle free stretchable ear loop.
Which group of people are vulnerable and need more protection from Haze?
§ Elderly people, people with lung or heart conditions, and women in the later stages of pregnancy may already have reduced lung volumes or breathing issues, therefore finding a mask with better breathability is crucial if circumstances require them to wear a mask. Try to stay indoor if possible.
Most of the mask in the market has the capability to filter bacteria. How does a mask with filtering bacteria different from a mask with killing bacteria capabilities?
§ Filtering bacteria does not kill the bacteria and this can lead to cross contamination ie transfer of harmful bacteria to wearer itself.
§Nano NSQ-3+ powered with FOOD GRADE NANO COLLOIDAL MINERALS has these extra capabilities as stated below and being tested.
- It can kill >99.87%of contact kill rate of Staphylococcus Aureus ATCC 6538.
- >99.94% of contact kill rate of airborne bacteria
hence, bacteria will be killed and preventing cross contamination.
How long can it be used before discard off?
Nano mask has self sterilize capability of effectiveness within 24hours. For example after 3 hours usage, when you need a break foreating or bath, please return the mask to its plastic cover and
sealed back for self sterilize. This is counted as 3 hours usage only. The mask can be used up to 24 hours actual usage. After 24 actual usage it is advisable to discard it, especially when it has odor or discolorations.
