When would you need a carbon mask you ask? When you are exposed to excessive hazardous smog, smoke, diesel exhaust, fragrances, newspaper print, particulate matter either at home or travelling. Also, in the event of an airborne biological contaminant, this is the mask you will need.
The carbon filter significantly reduces air-borne pollutants such as BENZENE and SULPHUR DIOXIDE. This filter also reduces lead by 75%, odours by 90% and particulate such as pollen by 95%.
Carbon is great for odour and organic vapour filtration. This nuisance level carbon mask is perfect for use when painting, woodworking, or working with household cleaning solvents.
We also recommend our carbon mask DDM4 OR DDM8 (BUTTERFLY STYLE) with a breathing valve. The DDM4 or DDM8 mask prevents glasses from steaming up and allows easier communications & easier breathing. The DDM4 or DDM8 must not be worn if the wearer is infected.
If a major epidemic, pandemic or biological event occurs, the masks should be properly disposed of or burned as they would be highly contaminated. Fresh masks should be put on if one has traveled through a highly contaminated area. One obviously would have to remove the masks to eat and drink water and great care must be taken when handling the contaminated surface of the respirator.
quote from Senator Bill Frist…For biological terrorist attacks, United States Senator Bill Frist, a physician and public health expert, recommended in his recent book, "When Every Moment Counts," that people should have face masks rated "N95" or better for each family member.
Note from Touched by a Rose: Most families can handle the flu, but, are you ready to survive a pandemic flu. Pandemic flu is a rare occurrence but when it hits, there is no pre existing immunity. Healthy people may be at increased risk for serious complications causing Health systems to become overwhelmed. Vaccine probably would not be available in the early stages of a pandemic and would be first available to health care workers and front line workers. Effective antiviral medication may be in a limited supply. If a pandemic hit North America there will be widespread restriction on travel, closure of schools & businesses and cancellation of large public gatherings. You can only imagine the potential of severe impact on our domestic & world economy. We must be prepared to look after ourselves. Part of our preparation was to locate a supply of masks & gloves to aid ourselves & our family.
While supplies last, we are willing to pass this purchase on. Understanding how to use masks appropriately & effectively is our basic line of defence during a pandemic or biological incident. We recommend to prepare for at least a 90 day period.
