The useless or warm antibacterial flower masks have many problems

As the weather gets colder and colder, many citizens will buy masks for the cold. The environmental pollution in major cities this year is a wake-up call. The reporter learned from the pharmacy in a certain place that medical masks are selling hot. On the Internet, many online shop business engaged in mask sales is also very hot, many young people like to wear some colorful personal cartoon masks to keep warm.

Studies have confirmed that masks can effectively resist the spread of viruses and bacteria, especially in preventing disease infections. A random survey of reporters asked that more than 80% of people would wear masks. “Everyone has a sense of wearing a mask. This is worthy of recognition.” The doctor said in the interview. However, the “traps” encountered by the public from purchasing, wearing and cleaning can be quite a lot.

A week ago, Miss Wang, a citizen, spent 4 yuan online to purchase a beautiful cartoon mask. However, after wearing her for several days, her face became red and itchy. After diagnosis, she suffered from allergic dermatitis. The incentive may be the newly bought beautiful "flower mask." In the hospital emergency room, the most recent question, due to the large number of people wearing “flower masks” allergies, in addition to causing facial allergies, there are people who cause asthma and other diseases.

It is understood that on-line street stalls and some small shops selling "flower masks" are mostly simply processed and flowed out by small workshops. The packaging is also a layer of plastic paper. Most of the products are not even sterilized. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Health, the civilian and medical masks sold at pharmacies and hospitals are made from 4, 6, 8 and 12 layers of gauze, which are soft, thin and uniform, and the sutures are moderately elastic. If it is a disposable mask, it is also required to indicate the implementation of the sanitary standard number on the product packaging, as well as the production date and expiration date, or the production batch number and limited use date. However, in order to save costs, these three fancy masks often have only one or two layers of gauze, and some even use only chemical fiber materials.

Doctors said that chemical fiber fabrics and other flowers masks are poor in breathability, as well as chemically irritating odors, which can easily cause damage to the respiratory tract. Qualified masks are made of gauze and non-woven fabrics. The professionalness of fashion mask manufacturers is not as high as that of medical mask manufacturers, and its ability to intercept pathogens is the worst. Recommend that you refer to the "protection index list" when you buy: N95 and other high safety factor masks> medical disposable masks> white cotton masks> masks with a pattern of fashion.

In addition, the following two errors are easily overlooked:

Don't wear it when you wear it. According to the report, masks should be worn during the high season of influenza, hazy days, dusty days, illness, and visiting hospitals. In the winter, old friends with low immunity, weak and sick people are best to wear masks when going out, and healthy young people who wear masks are more likely to reduce their resistance.

Dressed up in disarray. Few people would use a mask to put a mask in a clean bag and then put it in a bag or a pocket, so that it would be cleaned less every day. The doctor said that it would be unscientific to clean up and not clean it in time. After wearing masks for 4-6 hours, many germs will accumulate. After wearing, the mask should be folded first. When folded, the face that is close to the mouth and nose should be stacked inside. Then put the mask into a clean bag and put it into the bag or pocket. Masks should be washed every day, placed in the sun, and placed on the radiators to grow bacteria.

The recent weather was somewhat hazy, and the doctor reminded again that in order to really play the role of dust prevention and disease prevention, medical absorbent cotton masks are more reliable.
