| In the Journal of Infectious Diseases, February 15, 2010, Dr. Allison E. Aiello and her colleagues of the University of Michigan reported that college students living in residency halls who wore masks for a few hours a day and regularly used hand sanitizers cut their risk of flu-like illness by up to half. "We do think it probably would generalize to other settings....for example military barracks or nursing homes," she told Reuters Health in an interview. "We can probably even bring this to the household setting." We are pleased to be able to provide the Alpha Pro Tech NIOSH approved N-95 Particulate Respirator. Approved by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, part of the Centers for Disease Control), the Alpha Pro Tech N-95 face mask has a number of important features: Patented Positive Facial Lock (PFL) allows total facial closure for custom fit on any size face when donned correctly…”one size fits all” Fluid resistant Exclusive Twist-Seal chin piece reduces the potential for small particles to be inhaled around the borders of the face mask by eliminating gaps at the border of the mask Patented Magic Arch supports keep mask away from nose and mouth with no restriction of downward vision; provides cooler, more comfortable breathing chamber Latex-free, soft comfortable materials throughoutThis is quite an amazingly comfortable and effective face mask that greatly reduces but does not eliminate the risk of transmission of infectious diseases. It is a single-use respirator; dispose of it properly after one use. Now, we have also been asked how many masks one should need, and that’s really difficult to say. How long will the emergency last? How often will you go out? Just to shop, or will you be with a number of coworkers? You might only wear a mask once a day, or you might need 2 or 3 a day. Only experience will provide a possible answer. Hopefully, there won’t even be an emergency. All we can suggest is try to be prepared. Note: Due to government regulations, this product may not be returned. Caution: All instructions for the use and limitations of the Alpha Pro Tech N-95 Particulate Respirator should be carefully read and understood by the wearer prior to use.
