Can the anti-haze mask block cigarettes

While we are concerned about whether the anti-haze mask can prevent haze, more and more people are beginning to notice whether the anti-haze mask can block the harm of cigarettes, we can find out from the following article whether the anti-haze mask can block the inhalation of cigarettes.

What is an anti-haze mask

The so-called PM2.5 refers to the fine particles in the air with a diameter less than or equal to 2.5um (micron). And people say PM2.5 mask (here referred to PM2.5 mask is a kind of naming) that is anti-haze mask, now on the market appear anti-haze mask is mainly for PM2.5 fine particles and manufacturing, this anti-haze mask can effectively filter PM2.5 fine particles, and anti-haze mask airtightness also determines the ability to filter through the suspended particles separation.

What the anti-haze mask can prevent

The anti-haze mask is mainly a respiratory protection against certain oily particles, such as dust, pollen, various types of productive dust and air pollution without volatile fog (fine particles of PM2.5um (micron)), which can effectively prevent such fine particles in the air from entering the human alveoli and reduce the chance of inducing asthma, bronchitis and cardiovascular diseases. In that case, can the anti-haze mask block cigarettes?

Can an anti-haze mask block cigarettes?

Just because cigarette smoke also belongs to the category of PM2.5, the concentration of indoor cigarettes is so high that the anti-haze mask can only stop the inhalation of cigarettes to a certain extent, and the sealing of this anti-haze mask also determines the degree of preventing cigarette inhalation. So choosing a good anti-haze mask can stop the inhalation of cigarettes and reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases.

Why anti-haze masks can stop cigarettes

All the smoke from burning cigarettes is some tiny particulate matter, and in terms of particle size, it falls under the category of PM2.5, which is one of the main sources of respiratory harm entering the human body. The tiny particles of this smoke are so small in diameter that it can stay in the air for a long time, especially in airtight unventilated rooms, where second-hand smoke becomes the main source of indoor PM2.5.

Concentration of PM2.5 in indoor smoke

We know that anti-haze masks can block cigarettes, so let's look at the PM2.5 concentration of indoor cigarette smoke. When a person smokes in a 35 square meter room, the concentration of PM2.5 in the air from smoking one cigarette can reach 300 micrograms per cubic meter. According to the Chinese government's standard for PM2.5, less than 75 micrograms per cubic meter is a safe value, and the results of this experiment are four times the safe value. If a window is opened, it usually requires more than 15 minutes of ventilation to effectively remove the hazards of indoor smoke.

Warm Tips

For your own and others' health, please do not smoke, smoking is also one of the sources of PM2.5 dust.
