An N95 mask is an abbreviation for a particulate air respirator, which is an easily-recognized particulate filtering respirator that meets the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) guidelines.

The NIOSH N95 mask has a dual function to filter the air of particulates and bacteria, while also providing protection against irritants.One of the most important reasons for wearing a respirator is to protect you from the inhalation of spores.

Spores are microscopic airborne particles that can be inhaled through small airways or through the skin and mouth.

They are known to cause serious health problems such as lung disease, allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems.

Although asbestos is banned in many countries, its use remains widespread in certain industries.It is imperative that you have an adequate N95 mask in order to protect yourself from the inhalation of dust, chemicals, and particles, as well as from any other respiratory hazards that may be present in the workplace.

In addition, even if your workplace has a respirator's policy, it is still a good idea to carry a backup N95 mask just in case there is a problem with your main respirators.
