How Face Masks Improve Air Quality
Mechanisms of Filtration
- Physical filtration: Tiny pores in fabric (cotton, synthetics) block dust, pollen, smoke.
- Electrostatic charge: Some masks attract charged particles (bacteria, dust).
- Multiple layers: Each layer adds barrier, improving filtration.
- Tight fit: Snug seal over nose, mouth, chin prevents edge leakage.
Choose well-fitting, breathable masks with adequate filtration. Follow guidelines for use, care, disposal.
