I have:
1. n95 masks, e.g. 50 of them. technically, each mask can only last several hours
2. UVC light for cleaning up used n95 masks so they can last a few days each
3. protective eyeglasses if you need to visit hospital for any reason in the next few months
4. ethanol (not for your masks)
5. medical gloves
- patagonicus 7y agoProtective eyeglasses is a good one. I wanted to get some anyway, but keep forgetting about it.
- RaSoJo 7y agoI was under the impression an n95 could last much longer (Days/Weeks). Could you help me understand why you feel it will last just for hours?
- ksml 7y agoUnless you are doing work that involves lots of tiny particulate matter (and even if you do), I think 50 n95 masks is pretty darn excessive. Most people don't even wear them correctly.
- blub 7y agoN95's not bad, but N99 (FFP3) is what you probably want for viruses. In theory these are designed to last a "shift" (8h). The manual should explain how to use it safely. I'm not aware of the possibility of cleaning used masks. Just because the outside is clean, it doesn't mean the filter's still good. If you want something cleanable get a full face mask with a cartridge filter. These look like (and actually can be) a gas mask. It also clearly communicates that you're serious about this, unlike the peons with those silly normal masks.
