Protective masks: which one to choose for maximum safety?

In a world where health has become a priority, protective masks have become an essential element of our daily lives. With the spread of viruses and bacteria, choosing the right mask is essential to protect ourselves and others.

Types of masks

There are different types of masks, each with specific characteristics and levels of protection:

FFP1 masks: They offer a minimum filtration of 80%, protecting against dust, silica and other non-toxic agents. They are suitable for DIY jobs or in contexts with fine dust.

FFP2 or KN95 masks: They guarantee a minimum filtration of 94%, protecting against toxic agents such as metal sanding, resin and fungi. They are suitable for industrial work and in environments with dust and chemical agents.

FFP3 masks: The most effective type, with a minimum filtration of 99%. They protect against highly toxic agents such as asbestos, lead and ceramic fibres. They are used in high-risk environments, such as asbestos remediation or work with dangerous chemicals.

Surgical masks: They limit the spread of infectious particles, blocking at least 95% of outgoing viruses. They are useful in crowded contexts or for people with flu symptoms.

Washable fabric masks: They offer less protection than surgical and FFP masks, but can be reused after washing. They are a valid alternative in case of shortage of other masks.

Choosing the right mask

The choice of mask depends on several factors:

Risk level: If you are exposed to toxic or highly infectious agents, an FFP2 or FFP3 mask is essential. For daily use in crowded environments, a surgical or FFP1 mask may be sufficient.

Comfort: Choose a mask that fits your face well and is comfortable to wear for long periods.

Reusability: If you need a mask to use frequently, consider the option of a washable fabric mask.

Tips for the correct use of masks:

Wear the mask correctly: Cover your nose and mouth completely and make sure it fits well on your face.

Do not touch the mask while wearing it: If you need to remove it, do so by the laces or elastic.

Replace the mask regularly: Surgical masks should be changed every 3 hours, while FFP2 and FFP3 masks can last from 3 to 8 hours, depending on the intensity of use.

Wash your hands frequently: It is important to wash your hands before and after wearing or touching the mask.

Dispose of the mask correctly: Throw the used mask in the appropriate containers for unsorted waste.
