Is it useful to wear N95 mask when going out in dusty weather in spring?

The climate has changed in spring, so what mask should be worn in dusty weather before N95 mask is useful? Let's get to know each other.

In dusty weather, pollutants can directly produce different degrees of irritating symptoms or allergic reactions to human body through mucosal tissues such as eyes, nose and throat and skin. Dust particles can also enter the human body through the respiratory tract, causing various respiratory diseases. In the face of such a powerful sandstorm, wearing a mask when going out can't effectively avoid eating soil, so it is safest to choose to wear this mask in sandstorm weather.

The elderly, children, pregnant women, patients with respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases are sensitive groups. In dusty weather, sensitive people should try to avoid going out. If there is a chronic cough accompanied by symptoms such as expectoration or shortness of breath, paroxysmal wheezing and chest pain, they should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

In dusty weather, doors and windows should be closed in time and sealed with tape if necessary. Wet cleaning methods such as mopping the floor with wet mop and wiping with wet rag should be adopted to keep the room clean. Humidifier, sprinkling water and other methods can be used to keep the air humidity appropriate, and the air purifier can be turned on indoors if conditions permit.

Pay attention to personal protection when going out, and wear N95 and above protective masks; Wear windproof glasses. If the wind and sand enter your eyes, don't rub them with your hands. Rinse with running water or drop eye drops as soon as possible. If you still feel unwell, you should seek medical advice promptly. Wear a hat, scarf and other dust-proof appliances, wrap your head with a scarf, wash your hands and face immediately after going out, rinse your mouth with clear water, clean your nose, take a shower if possible, and change clothes in time.

It is best not to go out in sandstorm weather, because this kind of weather is really harmful. We are not sure what we will encounter when we go out. Even if we are fully prepared, there will be some unexpected situations that we can't cope with. For example, some dangerous things really hit pedestrians because of the strong wind. The danger is really self-evident.

Don't favor colored masks. Nowadays, most of the popular color masks are made of chemical fiber fabrics, which have poor air permeability and chemical irritating smell, and are easy to cause harm to the respiratory tract. Qualified masks are made of gauze and non-woven fabrics. Zhou Rongbin reminded that the professionalism of fashion mask manufacturers is not as good as that of medical mask manufacturers, and their ability to intercept germs is the worst.

In fact, sandstorm weather has something to do with us. We must protect the environment and make our environment healthier.
