Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 What is the difference between mask and respirator. I can understand that the mask probably is best for situations involving airborne viruses. Would one wear a respirator when working around dust or any activity creating small particles such as grinding?

Unfortunately for those of us that use oxygen, masks will be considerably less effective because we cannot get a good seal with the mask. A good mask will be better than nothing though especially when combined with scrupulous handwashing and just not putting ourselves in crowded indoor situations where there are sick people. The FDA (http://www.fda. gov/cdrh/ ppe/masksrespira tors.html# 3) recommends the use of N95 masks because they filter out 95% of particles larger then 3 microns. This will include most viruses and bacteria. So these protect us from splashing and people sneezing and coughing on us and also filters particles. Here are some specific recommendations from this link: FDA has cleared the following N95 respirators for use by the general public in public health medical emergencies: 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8670F 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8612F Pasture Tm F550G Respirator Pasture Tm A520G Respirator These devices are labeled "NOT for occupational use.†If you Google any of these specific masks you will come up with many different sources. Let me know if anyone else finds out anything else of interest to all of us!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Jack, You kind of answered your own question without realizing it. When you are specifically wearing a mask for protection against something like a flu virus you are actually protecting against small particles. The small particles are the flu virus. The masks/respirators approved by the FDA for this purpose are designed to filter particles as small as 3 microns. This then would filter up to 95% of these particles. Regular old paper masks, (the kind you will find in most drug stores) will protect against splashing and moisture but don't do a good job filtering the tiny particles (virus and bacteria) we are concerned about here.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ultimately we're better off with the right mask than without it. But, that simply doesn't mean anyone should assume no risk and take chances. I wear one when I can't avoid certain places. Yesterday went to nephrologist in building with hundreds of doctors and lots of flu people potentially in lobby and on elevator, so wore one. Went with to ER on Thursday (kidney stone) and wore one. But also stayed far away from anyone else and used ambulance entrance and not regular one. But I wouldn't dare go to a concert or a street festival or anything like that in this area. We do have more schools closing each day. > > Jack, > You kind of answered your own question without realizing it.
