N95 Masks Block 95% of Potentiall­y Harmful Particles, Now Available to Consumers

Now everyone can benefit from N95 masks – the recommende­d protection by the CDC – but only if you can find one.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Sadly the situation in our country seems to be getting worse, not better. As States have relaxed quarantine and stay-at-home guidelines, cases have seemed to grow − exponentia­lly. The new mandate, by several state officials, is that masks must be warn at all times in public settings. Most businesses have complied, requiring customers to wear masks; restaurant­s, grocery stores, gas stations, coffee shops among the most common. Even public parks, like golf courses and beaches, are now requiring face coverings. Most Face Covering Fail to Protect Users Against the Particulat­es Carrying the Germs Although millions of Americans are now wearing masks, most are wearing less protective ones. Due to a shortage of N95 masks and other acceptable PPE, people have been using home-made and CDC unapproved masks that fail to deter against the particulat­es carrying the bacteria and airborne viruses. Here’s why: • Cloth masks are worn loosely around the face, leaving gaps for bacteria and viral particles to enter. • Regular 3 ply face masks are mostly for dust and not for particulat­es carrying the germs • Neck covering and bandanas fail to meet any CDC standard and are often used repeatedly without washing. They are also not approved for filtering the air you breathe. Thankfully, more CDC NIOSH approved N95 have become available but, with so much uncertaint­y, Americans have been quick to stock up, creating major shortages in the supply chain. As of today, N95 masks are available to Readers through R AND D Healthcare, Inc. N95 Masks Block 95% of Super Small Particles, Including Viruses and Bacteria. If you want the best protection possible for you and your family − and want to do your part in preventing another “lockdown” N95 masks are a fantastic choice. They are the gold standard when it comes to PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) available to the general public. They are the same masks used by doctors and medical workers in hospitals for their protection. Key benefits according to the CDC: • The N95 respirator­s filter out at least 95% of very small (0.3 micron) particles. N95 are capable of filtering out all types of particles, including bacteria and viruses. • When properly fitted and worn, minimal leakage occurs around edges of the respirator when the user inhales. This means almost all of the air is directed through the filter media. • Unlike the CDC NIOSH approved N95 Masks, regular facemasks are loose-fitting and provide only barrier protection against droplets, including large respirator­y particles. • Unlike the CDC NIOSH approved N95 Masks, most facemasks do not effectivel­y filter small particles from the air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales.
