Smog - what a protective half mask

Smog protection - warning

There is currently a wide range of filtering respirators available on the market, recommended for protection against the so-called smog. We advise you to read our short article carefully so that you do not get bogged down by products that do not guarantee adequate protection.

What is SMOG? This is nothing but pollutants that get into the atmosphere, which are suspended dusts of certain sizes. There may also be hazardous gases in harmful smog.

What to pay attention to when choosing a protective half mask?

First of all, we recommend choosing personal protective equipment, i.e. protective and filtering half-masks intended for industrial applications, when choosing half-masks for protection against smog, e.g. during sports or everyday use. Why? Because placing such products on the market must be preceded by testing and certification. During the tests, the filtration efficiency of specific substances and dusts is assessed. Be sure of your protection and buy half-masks that are personal protective equipment.

How to recognize a protective half mask? Such a half mask should:

• include a user manual,
• have the mark of the standard it complies with and the CE certificate,
• be marked with the notifying body that assessed the product,
• be marked with the protection class, eg FFP1, FFP2, FFP3.
