Pure & Safe N95 PM2.5 Mask

It is used to filter out harmful pollutants and microbes, helping you to breathe fresh air. It is a reusable mask that is ideal for outdoor usage, especially if you stay in polluted cities. It is also known to offer protection against various microbes due to its ability to block their entry when you breathe. 

It can also help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (examples: mold, Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis), but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting the infection, illness, or disease. It can be used in all weather conditions, keeping breathability and comfort intact. The mask facilitates protection from dangerous microbes, pollutants, dust, particulate matter, and smoke from vehicle exhausts, factories, and bushfires. 

The ‘N-95’ label in Pure & Safe N95 PM2.5 Mask means that the filter blocks at least 95% of very small (0.3 microns) particles or PM2.5 particulate matter, which tends to stay longer in the air and is thus more likely to be inhaled. Wash your hands properly before wearing and after removing the mask. Do not share the mask with your friends, family members, or relatives as it can increase the risk of contamination, which in turn can harm you or your loved ones’ health.
