There are plenty of different masks on the market. But which ones are the best at keep COVID-19 at bay? A better question is, "How do you know if a mask is safe?" Here's everything there is to know about safe face masks.
Surgical masks are graded by the FDA in different levels. For example, a PM 2.5 mask filters out everything down to 2.5 microns. This is perfect if you're trying to filter out smog. To give you an idea of how big a micron is, a grain of sand is about 100 microns.
For one, COVID-19 measures around 0.5 microns, but can sometimes measure as small as 0.1 microns. FDA-listed surgical masks must filter everything down to 0.03 microns to gain their certification.
If the words "FDA" or "Surgical" aren't found anywhere near the box of masks you're thinking of buying, just put it down, and walk away. Just walk away! And never speak of this moment again.
Luckily, there's a place online that takes the guesswork out of buying safe surgical masks. Armbrust USA is a mask manufacturer out of Texas that makes some of the best PPE on the market.
