A short thread 🧵

1/
Optimize filtration material:

☑️Surgical masks are good
Look for ASTM-rated

✅Respirators are best
Look for standardized filters:
Canadian - 95PFE
South Korean- KF94
Chinese - KN95

2/
You won’t find a NIOSH certified “N95” for children.

NIOSH only regulates products for adults.

Looking for a #BetterMask but:
✖️N95s are harder to find than TP in 2020
✖️you can’t afford N95s and your government isn’t making them accessible
✖️your workplace mandates medical masks and doesn’t allow N95s
✖️your school gives students medical masks

This 🧵‘s for you

1/
Ensure your medical mask is ASTM graded and is at least a grade 2 mask, preferably grade 3 (will ensure better filtration performance of the mask material)

Important to note, ASTM 3 does not imply or guarantee respirator-quality filtration performance.

For kids and those with smaller faces, try the #KnotTuckTape

Turn that rectangle into something more face-shaped. I think taping the corners is important otherwise the tucked in edges often unfold fairly quickly.
