Pm2.5 Activated Carbon Filter Vs N95

PM 2.5 carbon filter masks block out particulate matter much like N95 masks do. They are about equal in effectivity if you want a good mask that will protect you from pollutants.

The N95 mask filters out 95% of dust and particulates.

If you’re in an area with poor air quality levels, wearing an N95 face mask is the best way to protect your lungs and overall health. Built to filter out dangerous particles, the N95 is a better way to breathe clean air and stay healthy. They are better than the N99 pollution masks as N99 makes breathing a bit difficult. So, people over 60, pregnant ladies and children are advised to wear the N95 pollution masks. Many health providers recommend highly efficient N95 filter class especially for those mask wearers who are young, active or have impaired lung function.

If you have any of the following conditions then N95 pollution mask would be a better choice:

1. Breathing problems
   
2. Emphysema
   
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
   
4. Asthma
   
5. Cardio-pulmonary problems
