N95 face mask provides best protection against worsening haze: Dr Amar Singh thesundaily haze

The public are recommended to wear the N95 face mask as a form of protection from the worsening haze currently enveloping parts of the country, said a senior consultant paediatrician.

“The usual three-ply surgical mask cannot filter toxic gases and fine particles of less than 2.5 microns. It may offer some protection against larger particles that irritate, and hence may be useful for some outdoor activities such as biking. “However, N95 masks are uncomfortable to use for long period of time as they increase the effort it takes to breathe and reduce the volume of air.

Dr Amar Singh also said the use of fabric mask was not recommended for haze protection, but many were using it because it is cheaper and could be washed and reused.
