MyMaskFit.co.uk is interested to read Efficacy of FFP3 Respirators for Prevention of SARS-COV-2 infection in healthcare workers elifesciences.org/download/aHR0c…
Results: Whilst using FRSMs, HCWs working on red wards faced an approximately 31-fold
(and at least 5-fold) increased risk of direct, ward-based infection. Conversely, after changing
to FFP3 respirators, this risk was significantly reduced (52-100% protection).
Conclusions: FFP3 respirators may therefore provide more effective protection than FRSMs
for healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19, whether or not AGPs are
undertaken. #bettermasks #P3

Face masks have been standard convenience store goods in Japan for decades. Elsewhere, they are a new mass market product. We are set to get through 129bn masks a month and 65bn pairs of disposable gloves, reckons Ocean Conservancy.
3/3.
Most disposable masks are made from polypropylene. They cannot be recycled conventionally. Plastics already make up a big wodge of global waste: 242m tonnes of the 2bn tonnes we junk a year, according to a 2018 World Bank study.

Face #mask rules: compulsory coverings in shops, fines and who is exempt from wearing one
Face coverings are mandatory in shops and supermarkets, and soon-to-be in places of worship and cinemas. Here's everything you need to know

2/6 What counts as a face covering - and what are the options?
From home-made versions crafted out of hoover bags and panty liners (yes, really) to bandanas that transform even the most genteel Home Counties shopper to roadside bandit
3/6 Surgical Masks: The most common design that everyone clambered to buy from Amazon in the early days of lockdown. Effective to a point, protecting the wearer against large droplets although not so much with airborne particles due to the loose fit. Image
