CBC Marketplace tested KN95 and KF94 masks sold online and at big box stores. Half of them didn’t offer the level of protection they’re supposed to, according to the lab test results.

Buy from dealers with a history of PPEs. Check if your mask is authorized by Health Canada or the FDA. Search the CDC for a list of counterfeits.

The professor's comparing the mask fails with a student failing a test by 1 or 2 points is like comparing apples to oranges. A student failing means his attempt was useless. The masks being 1 or 2 points below does not render the mask useless. It would still be good for most everyday uses by none medical professionals. Certainly better than cloth masks or the open sided "surgical masks like Walmart hands out.

@CHS10901 3 года назад

There are 2 aspects to protection, one is the filtration efficiency, many masks do not meet those requirements, but more problematic is the fit test. This is a test that determines how well the mask seals against your face. This is very difficult if not impossible to do with ear loops, which is why proper N95 masks all have head bands.

@looiart 3 года назад

So wear it properly is the key....

@CHS10901 3 года назад

@@looiart yes wearing it properly and fitting it properly is key, but the KN95 masks with ear loops can't work because the pressure required to seal it to your face would be so uncomfortable on your ears that you could not stand it. The one thing that is a big help with the ear loops is to add a couple of behind the head straps or ear savers. People should position one lower around the back of the head just above the neck and the other high on the crown of the head. This is a similar problem to the N95 masks as I have seen people not place the straps properly with them either. But as you said, "wear it properly"

@descai10 2 года назад

Wouldn't the seal matter less the easier it is to breath through the mask? Nano-fiber masks are very breathable for example. Since the air doesn't meet as much resistance going through the filter it would have less pressure to go around the mask instead of through it.

Yeah, but I think it's a pretty alarmist response in this situation. There isn't anything magical about 95% filtration efficiency. A 94% efficient mask is about the same as 95% efficient one. They both offer ~10x better protection than cloth masks.

@johnwang9914 3 года назад

@@magicdave Yes, but due to the higher transmissibility of the variants, European nations are already mandating masks be FFP-2 rated , the European equivalent of N-95 and highrise apartments and n Canada have had transmissions traced to a few minutes encounter while masked in elevators. It may be advisable to use the better masks or a mask brace to improve fit if you are expecting to be in elevators or even mass transit. Note the double masking recommendation in the US due to the variants was effectively to use the second mask as a mask brace to improve fit and essentially was an attempt to deflect from affecting the medical N-95 supply chain. As to ten times better than say a surgical/procedural mask. If the fit can be improved to essentially 100% either by glue or mask braces, the filtration is 80% then if the material is doubled as in double masking, so long as the fit remains 100%, two 80% filtration layers equals 96% so technically the N-95 masks are really only double the effectiveness of surgical/procedural masks if the fit problem can be addressed. In theory double masking could almost be as effective as N-95 respirators especially if fit is improved by mask braces or clothing glue hence the US double masking recommendations.

Better than nothing. But here's also another kicker. Legit 95 masks, $29.99 for a pack of 3. Counterfeit ones, $29.99 for a pack of 100.

i wonder why the filtering efficiency of P100 or FFP3 particulate filters is never mentioned. P100 (US NIOSH standard) and/or FFP3 (EU CEN standard) has a higher filtering efficiency than the N95/FFP2/KN95. respirators. P100 and/or P3 particulate filters attached to a half face or full face respirator are reusable (i have been using mine for more than a year now).

There is no benefit to P100 or N100, because, for instance, 3M N95 already provide 99% protection, but P100 and N100 just make it much harder to breathe through.

@@sv1201 the 95 in N95 means 95% filtering efficiency. so what does 100 in P100 US NIOSH standard or P3 in EU CEN standard mean? yes, it has a higher filtering efficiency. far superior to N95. as for “harder to breath”, it is not because half or full face respirators have an intake valve from which air has been filtered by the P100 particulate filter and and exhaust valve to expel air easier. there is also a new filter attachment for the exhaust valve to filter expelled air. not to mention the total seal you get in the face from a half or full face respirator (by doing the negative and positive seal check prior to every use) as opposed to the questionable seal you get from an N95. AND the P100 particulate filter is reusable unlike N95s, and will last longer (according to the 3M website- it will last a pandemic wave). as long as the respirator and filter has been decontaminated/sanitized before or after every use.

Instead of doing this why not do a report about reducing 3M N95 mask pricing ? for the sake of the pandemic?

Need to know if that Air Queen KF94 passed though! 🥺

Home depot and Home hardware one are actually good, over 90% rate. Should avoid the 19% ones. Like the MD said, if you use it to go to grocery it's fine or so. It's not like you are working with symptomatic covid patients.

No, but you may be working with infected family members in your own household.

I have that kind of face mask but somehow I can’t breathe using it; it’s feels like I’m suffocating from it. I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one who can’t breathe through that kind of face mask. Sorry
