Even as the cases of COVID-19 continue to spike in Mumbai, many still don’t have knowledge of the health guidelines and the specifications of required health accessories.
The N95 mask is a very specific sort of accessory created as per the N95 standard set by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NOSH). This standard tests masks on the basis of their oil and particle filtering ability. Only those face masks that are in line with these standards can be certified as the N95 mask.
