MASK

N95

N95 is a NIOSH certified/approved particulate respirator.

This respirator is not designed to be used by children.

Disposable respirators should never be shared and must be discarded

immediately after use.

For best effect, N95 masks need to be fitted properly. If respirator does not seal

tightly to the face, airborne hazards can penetrate or enter underneath the

respirator or through gaps and into the breathing zone.

However, Respirators may help to reduce exposures to these airborne

contaminants but they donteliminate the risk of exposure.
